My first trip to China was a short one as I only had 3 days. I'm teaching English in S. Korea and there was a holiday (Independence Day) on Friday Aug 15th. So, using the holiday and weekend, I planned a trip to Beijing mainly for the Olympics but was able to see a few other sites. After living in Korea for the past 6 months, I've met many people quite a few of who are foreigners from Canada, S Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Wales and some other Americans. When I first got to Korea, I notice...

Survived the final sleeper train journey to arrive into Beijing at 6am. Spent the last hour of the journey talking to a sweet Chinese teenage girl who wanted to practice her English on me. (I decided not to practice my Mandarin on her as it consists of precisely four words, so the conversation was going to be pretty one-sided!). It was really interesting talking to her; I was surprised at how much access to western culture the Chinese clearly have. She had read all the Harry Potter and Lord o...

On our final day together we went to the Great Wall of China. After a 5.30AM start (ouch!) we were driven out to Simatai, about a three hour drive from Beijing, to the start of the wall. There are sections of the wall that are nearer to Beijing, but these apparently get really congested and the Simatai section is more spectacular. This was obvious from the moment we got our first glimpse of the wall from the bus; it stands at the top of the mountains snaking across into the distance and is ju...

With the tour officially over, I still had a couple of days left in Beijing to explore before I had to be in Vietnam and there were a couple of others who were spending another night in Beijing. Sarah, Michele, Monica and I decided to head out to the Summer Palace, which is a vast park set around the Kunming Lake, crowded with temples, gardens and pavilions. Oh and a couple of hundred thousand Chinese! It takes about an hour to get from central Beijing to the Summer Palace so we got a taxi, w...

... to the bottom.) The informal way of eating here has really grown on me, and trying to "eat pretty" was no small chore after two months of shoveling food about with a pair of chopsticks. (Chopsticks can be used with grace, or with unabashed veracity of food shoveling… guess which method I prefer?) During the dinner, I met Caitlin, a wonderful girl in the company who also studied Chinese in Beijing, and (the more we talked the more I discovered) is rather similar to myself. I took to ...

... were capable of eating, we found everything from crickets, scorpions and starfish (all on sticks of course) to goats penis, fried ice cream & miniature toffee apples – also on sticks.
Frenetic yet friendly – Beijing was already turning out to be a city we liked. Saturday was spent with a visit to the Forbidden City. We decided to arrive early, thinking we would avoid the crowds before mid morning - boy were we wrong!!! By the time we arrived ...
... and address of where you want to go in chinese but even then that doesn't guarentee anything. In the end we went with a guy who overcharged us and then dropped us nowhere near Tiannmen Square which was the closest we could get to the hotel. We then ended up walking for about 40minutes with our backpacks on and altough there is no humidity it was quite hot! So that aside my first impression of Beijing has been how clean and orderly everything ...

... can be fit into a skyscraper apartment block than a courtyard house!). An old lady lived alone in the house we visited. She was kind enough to offer us green tea and answer our questions. She was an accountant before retiring. Lovely lady (check the picture). Her and our English-speaking guide praised my Chinese pronounciation after I mentioned we would be travelling to Chengdu and Guilin. After I recognised the word ...

... by a small but incredibly strong lady. The result was purchasing a North Face (Asian version ;-)) jacket for 20 pound instead of a 100. We met our fearless leader Blair and rest of the group consisting of: Susan (UK) Justin (AUS) Marie (USA) Emily and Oscar (SWE) Claus and Tanya (DEN) Lee (SCOT) The group seems nice and friendly but we were not feeling up to a group dinner. Tuesday 6 ...
