The 13th Emperor's Tomb and BaDaLing Greatwall - Day 3

You gonna get very tired if you walk the stairs with heavy armour and weapon.

The steps are very steep and some part is slippery too.

Took the cable car to the top to save time and energy.

A glance on great wall inside the van.

A visit to the jade shop before going for lunch, 'standard procedure' when you join local tour to Badaling Greatwall.

Ancient way of 'Quality Control', your name/company crafted on the brick, so don't mess up with the quality when you deliver the bricks to Emperor as tomb building material.

Ancient Emperor's statue. The wooden pillars are very expensive timber.

The beam are constructed without using a single nail.

The 31 million Rosomak

Those ppl on the top of the effing government are getting way too greedy!! They are trying to tell us how poor is the government now because they want to cut fuel subsidy, feed us crappy RON95 with the same price, then the gvt also want to impose GST because it is a "trend" and bullshitting it is a "win-win-thingy" to everybody, just yesterday they are thinking to raise the traffic fine to Rm1k (max)... but then they spend 76 million on setting up a non-productive meeting with Obama, and now this is even worse!! A whopping RM8 billion on 237 units of armoured vehicles!!! Are we going to war or what?!

Rosomak armoured vehicle: RM31 Million + (Malaysia government price with 80% kickback)
Fine, I know we are a tiny and insignificant country, so we need some armoured vehicles to defend the country, who knows if these vehicles can fire any bullets because our submarine can't even submerge!! I try to make a rough calculation on the unit cost of our Rosomak armoured vehicles by using my Nokia phone just now, and you know what? The number got too many zeros till I can't input 8 billion in it. Probably that kind of setting is not for Nokia users, they don't expect Nokia users can do a billion RM deal, perhaps Vertu phones can...

(M1 Abrams Heavy Tank: USD6.2 Million, assume is USD7 million for a fully loaded unit with the mounted 50 calibre machine guns on the turret)

Ok, so assume the cost is USD7 million per unit for the M1 Abram tank, assuming RM3.30 = 1USD even though it is Rm3.2x now, then the unit price is about RM23.1 million per unit. Have a close look on these two war machines. Just tell me, honestly, which one you are going to choose? The Rosomak? Or the M1 Abrams tank?

I never 'test drive' a M1 tank before, but I can tell you, with my experience on playing PC game, the M1 is a very advanced tank, their armor is so thick and it is not that easy to blast the whole tank, it was like the fearsome Tiger tank during WWII. I don't know la, I think even 3 yrs old kid also can tell which one is better by looking at the photos. And we are paying "RM31 million" for a armoured vehicles? These people on the top are really way too GREEDY!!!
