Has anyone ever told you about their trip to the Great Wall and how amazing it was?
Well has anyone ever told you what flipping hard work it is to even get to the wall? No?! Well they're bloody cheaters or liars coz it is!
Spend half an hour on the evil stepping machine at the gym and you'll feel the pain.
It was somewhat painful to say the least. They should put you on some kind of training programme first before they let you even near that mountain!

Yeah, I could have taken the ski lift but then, as our guide Michael said, you only become a real man when you walk to the top of the wall!
Anyway, I did it and I did feel proud of myself coz it was hot and I'm so very unfit, so you should be proud too :o)

Unfortunately I couldn't find the bears on the wall, so to make up for it I went to Beijing Zoo with the American folks where we saw real life Pandas!
Oh my god, the best bit- the zoo cost £2!!!
£2 to go to a zoo. Can you imagine how happy that made me. What with not having been to a zoo in a whole week n all lol

Ooh I should probably mention we (me Lisa and Kaelan) met the rest of the group yesterday. All of whom seem really nice but we're clearly the most fun.
The closest thing we have to eye candy is a taller, muscly, generally better, American Motty lookalike. Quite confusing to be honest.
Our tour guide Michael is amazing. He's funny, got great story's, he's so open with us and his English is fantastic. I do however fear for his life every time he mentions the communist party and how ridiculous it is.

Tomorrow we're heading to Tianamen Square before boarding a 12hr sleeper train. That should be interesting!

Oh and the pictures from a rubbish kids talent show. It was to prove to Kaelan that the Chinese do have beards
