So I haven't blogged for a couple of days. Last night I was too tired and on Wednesday I didn't because 1. We didn't do much and 2. Natwest ruined my day Back to where I left off anyway. We stayed up in the bar til about 1 before we realised we had the same channel in our room so we watched the football there. It was good to watch it, even though I didn't particularly enjoy it, too stressful! But it probably wasn't the best idea as we just seemed to be getting o...

Hello! Today faced the usual sleepiness! Jet lag is a killer. Luckily I'm not as old as Ben who is taking it a lot worse than me! We got up later than planned (again) and went to a bakery on the way to the metro station to go out. Ben tried to play safe with some pancakes and I chose a pastry thing with icing on it that also had either ham or bacon in it with cheese, onion and peppers.

We made our way to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City today. I thought it was just ...

And I have never seen a chicken Big Mac before mmmm! That means I got some cheese!! The flight was very long but Emirates are unbelievable. There was an upstairs on the plane and even a games console on the back of the seat in front. Maybe I'm just easily pleased! I only had 1 beer Mu...

Ni hao!!! We are currently just chilling in the hostel bar. It's 11pm so bed time soon! The flight from Dubai to Beijing wasn't great. We have a row of 3 for the 2 of us so you'd have thought it'd be easy to sleep but no, I could not get comfy whatsoever! More good food and I watched Beauty and the Beast which was very pleasant! We had a little difficulty trying to work out how to get to the hostel. We asked the tourist information at the airport to write the add...
