M: So we left Beijing and on the morning going to the airport Daria and myself were glad to be getting out of China. We had seen enough and hadn't even recovered from the massive hike up the Great Wall. Our journey to the airport was an effort having to move our massive suitcases over the many stairs on the Beijing underground - getting to our train was a mission in its self.

As some will know, it was thrown up in the air after getting wrong information on how much I would get paid in Sept and October.
