13 March 2011 (Sunday) China

Beijing (sort of)

So I accidentally deleted the entire post on Beijing just after I finished it, (it was bound to happen at some point!!) and I haven't found any way to recover drafts from a Blackberry. I'm not going to rewrite the whole post as we were mainly doing tourist-y things. I'll try to insert some observations and interesting information on China and Beijing in later posts. I really enjoyed the time we spent in Beijing.  It's a mega-city that is fascinating and feels totally manageable, so I want to give it its dues somehow. Anyway, sorry for the silliness.

There are pictures though :)
Our first glimpses of Beijing

Meat on a stick, yum yum

The motto of Houhai, a bar/club district in Beijing

Cable car to the Great Wall

The Badaling Great Wall

The wall is a whole lot steeper than you would expect

Much climbing and sore thighs :)
