Day 3: Inner Mongolia

Headed to Starbucks located just around the corner from where we lived to continue with our prototype. We live FAR from everywhere else in Beijng, so much so that one magazine described traveling to our district as trekking all the way to Inner Mongolia. I have to agree. Nee, 2 other friends and I went to Inner Mongolia last National Holiday and we were on the bus for almost 14 hours! It was such an unforgettable trip. One memory that stood out is when we were horseback riding – Nee broke her finger as she had a stubborn horse, my friend’s face swelled up with allergies, and my other friend’s finger started bleeding from grasping the rope too hard.

Whether in Inner Mongolia or Manila, we'll always take the road less travelled.
