Hey well its my third day here, feels like I've been here for ages. I met so many cool people already too many to list. :) I went to Tananmien Sqaure firstly which was cool, amazing how big it is, holds 10 million people. (thats one thing about China everywhere is busy :) lol

I decided to brave the subway on my own, getting used to the language barrier now, you just guess at everything you do lol. I saw the Heaven Temple which was cool, very peaceful. Next I went to Bejing zoo, which was brill. The Pandas were awesome, one was up a tree eating bamboo. :) I then took a ride on a ricksaw. which was brill, couldnt believe how bumping it was.

That night I meet my group most of them seem cool, we went out for a meal, which was great, the peking duck was yummy, the food is so good here:) As we walked out they had live fish in the tank and what looked like dead prawns. So i asked one of the waiters if they were dead, he smiled and stuck his hand in the tank. Silly me thinking he was just showing me they were alive, oh no, he shoved it in my hand and said 'gift for you'!!!!lol. The whole group burst out laughing and everyone was taking photos of my new found friend lol

We went back to the bar and hit the beer at the hotel, its like 1 pound for a massive bottle of beer : so I got pretty drunk and heres me on detox lol

The next day we went to the Forbidden City, which is brill so big you cant imagine. My feet were killing me lol, after that we went went shopping and found like most designer stuff and electric stuff so cheap. Im going back tmrw to get some sunglasses:)

Ive already fallen in love with China, its such a cool place, very clean and just an amazing vibe to it :)

Got to go now, we are off to hit the town :)
