"Since you refuse to do us this favour Lord Zhou, we will take our leave of you," Bodyguard Pan said.

... clear wrappers were good), beef rice flour roll (minced beef in a clear roll, it was good) and grenadine juice (very sweet with soda water, had frozen strawberries, plums and cherries in it). Bill ordered 2 Yanjing Beers and baked fillet of beef on a stone. It was cooked table side in butter, garlic and onion with black pepper. It was really good. <br><br>We took the number two line to the number one line and got off the subway at the Military Museum exit. <br><br>In ...

... me) - hat and gloves After a 3 hr drive to the wall, we started our hike from Jinshanling to Simatai (@ 10 mi) Surprisingly though, we were not as cold as we thought we would be. Once we got hiking, it wasn't too bad. We had a great hiking guide who gave us loads of information. The wall is amazing! Since we were there in the off season, and we were on a private hike, we were really able to enjoy the wall in peace and quiet. It was awe-inspiring and reamarkable. It ...

Also surprising, no tea? What's up with that? We ...

... yet Beijing as a city is quite contemporary and resembles the west a lot more than I had expected. I eventually received a bowl of soup/noodles &amp; beef, which I attacked with my feable chopstick skills to the amusement of the other customers. I think China will prove the hardest place I have traveled yet and I am going to have to learn some basic lingo in order to get by. Saying that, I was taken out by two local ...

... out the window as the procession of elephants, horses, and lots of soldiers went past. And in complete silence too, how they kept lots of horses and elephants quiet I don't know. On pain of death I suppose, if anything went wrong you were executed before you could say "shhhh". The Emperor would go to the Temple of Heaven twice a year in his duty as Son of Heaven to seek the blessing of the Ruler of the Universe. Firstly at the beginning of ...

... landed (and by the way, there's a camera on the plane that videos the taxi, the take-off, and the landing of the plane, so we got to watch our take-off and landing on the TV screens- pretty bizarre), made it through Customs, and got on our busses, Katie and I got even more wild. She shared her headphones with me and we sat in our seats, dancing to club music as Lauren and Bryan in the seats next to us and Dan in front of us gave us strange looks throughout the ...
