... cube. Being in an Olympic Park after the Olympics have been and gone is a bit like going to a party that's obviously so over! I remember feeling like that when I went out to the Sydney Olympic Park a couple of years ago, the whole place was like a ghost town. Tomic our guide asked us Brits how we were going to beat the Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony? Answer: no comment! It's a heck of a lot easier to organise and produce ...

... boarded our plane. They walked down the the aisles and shot each passenger in the head with a temperature gun. The doctor (?) on my side of the plane nodded excitedly after each temperature was taken. I wanted to take a picture of it, but unfortunately my camera was in my bag in the overhead compartment, and people were getting yelled at ...

... that they really enjoyed hearing me speak. Incredible. Day 5 My team didn't win the mixed case team competition, but a member from the chicago team was on the winning team. He used a lot of our original idea so we feel like we won twice because of that. Day 6 Home sweet home! Beijing was wonderful, but I can't wait to get back to my cell phone, my cooking, and my bed.

... planned the visit to them because that's what you would want me to do. I want you not worry about us and rest in peace". Afterward, we took some photos of the grave and the place.

Nihao (Chinese Greeting), (Disclaimer: Today is 4/5 and we are currently in Chang Mai, Thailand. China was an absolute blur, going from 6 am to 10 pm most days/nights. As such, there was absolutely no time for internet and blogging. I also sent my China itinerary home with my Dad, so my China details are from memory. For those of you on the trip with me, feel free to fill in any highlights, I may have left out. Also, I am having a difficult time with photos. My 1 gb card ...

Booked a tour to the Great Wall today. Was 180RMB from our hostel. Pick up at the hostel at 8 in the morning and drop back at 6pm which was quite handy. Didn't go for Badaling as we were told it was very touristy and we wanted something slightly different. Turns out that not only do we get to see the wall but also visit the Ming Tomb and see 3 factories. The first factory wasn't that bad (Cloisonne factory - sorry if the spelling is ...

... in the place. Still not quite sure what to think about CCTV cameras in the lifts - good & bad. Good mostly because you can chuckle at people in there cockroach dodging (nice!) & bad because people can suss you out as a target before you get out..... am i sounding paranoid?

... konnten. Wir haben Wasserfaelle gesehen, Vulkane, gefrorene Seen, Kloester(davon so einige) und zehn Tage lang keinen Asphalt. Manchmal war es eine richtige Holpertour und das, zwischenzeitig, bei Eis und Schneee. Obwohl es im Endeffekt waermer war als gedacht. ur Nachts waren es manchmal -7*C.
