Just a quick hello to everyone from beijing.
The last 5 days have been amazing, so much done and seen. This began with:
Tuesday we had the most amazing party at the hostel celebrating 2 years of the hostel being open, free beer for most of the night (my kind of night of party). If you ever come to beijing Happy Dragon hostel is the place to stay, its just amazing, everyone is so friendly and there is a group of 12 of us that hang out most nights.
Whats quite funny is that there is other scousers staying in the same place as me we just get everywhere were like the plauge.
Just about getting to grips with the food now ate a spider (torantilla) and sea horse the other day deep fried and disgusting at least i can say ive done it now, be moving on to the grubs next me thinks yum yum.
Places i have visited other last week include the forbiden city (not much to see a few nice temples), The great wall of china aboustly amazing (but a very tough walk),about a 6km walk but well worth it to see the specatle. Things i did find weird about the wall are at the begining of the walk there is a Subway in my eyes this shouldn't be allowed as it is one of the 7 wonders, furthermore people throught the wall elling water etc and finally you can ride a tobogn down the wall in fairness te tobogon ride was great fun, although i did crash into a Balinese woman causing her to get hurt oops.
Today i'm going to the zoo to see the panda's and then have a few beers on our last night in Beijing sad to be going, but moving on to Xian next to see the terricota warriors again one of the seven wonders of the world.
Hope everyone is ok back home and will update you guys soon
