Ketong Hotel Beijing

... in Hong Kong but just for transportation (Up to this point, we had been buying single journey subway tickets). We strolled through Wangfujing Street for a bit which is a pedestrian shopping area (Yay for me because I feel like I didn't do enough shopping in Hong Kong :P). And we had dinner at a restaurant recommended by Rebecca Wang called Dong Lai Shun - a traditional Chinese hot pot place.

Dinner was an interesting ...

... with my Hangzhou visit was that I did it before most of the Chinese people were on their first of May holidays - during holidays the place is said to be unbearably crowded. After the holidays, I continued my basic Beijing life for two weeks, until I left to Hong Kong. The Chinese are in some sort of a panic with the swine flu, so crossing the border to Hong Kong was pretty interesting as you had to fill special health declaration forms and your temperature was checked as ...

... by Olympic venues like the Bird's Nest and Water Cube, said the Chinese capital was a far cry from how the country is often depicted back home through American media. "It's different here from what was portrayed," says the 47-year-old Boston-native, adding he had "no problems" obtaining a visa despite media reports claiming difficulties for tourists. "Everything was above and beyond what I expected." His American buddy Gary Coupal also praised China for its strong ...

Day 91. Prep for the big Journey 14/7/08 Arriving at 7.30am I soon settled into the hostel across the road from the station. I decided to walk to Tienanmen Square and was soon surprised at how it had changed since my last visit 3yrs prior. There were more trees and gardens lining the streets. Sign were now also in English. And the drivers, although still rushing, sounded less ...

... and tanned from day after day on the wall, carrying messenger bags (filled with overpriced water bottles and souvenir great wall photo books). they'll see you coming and then sidle up next to you, alternating walking next to and a few steps behind you. they don't say much at first, except to shyly ask your name, where you're from, and if it's your first time in china, etc. pretty harmless questions, and undoubtedly very friendly and personable, but after passing the first ...

... on a bench, giving me a look spoke volumes (ie, stinky dirty scary yucky foreigner). I found it quite amusing that a mainland Chinese, people who not always, but often spit like camels, blow their noses into their hands, allow their children to **** in public garbage cans by the side of the street, or **** on public buses, never flush toilets, never wash their hands after going to the toilet, never cover their mouths when they cough and are compulsive litterers ...

... shades of beige! Strangely, given Ev's love of magnolia, this has not gone down too well. However, it has been rather fun, if a little nerve racking ordering from the menu and not really knowing what you're going to get, even when there is some english on the menu. Whats more, they stand by your table as soon as you sit down and wait for you order - not great when you have absolutely no idea what you are doing. The Chinese seem to have the ability to order their food, scoff it ...

... smoothed & turned black like polished stone. The tomb itself was pretty big & the story itself was pretty interesting. The guy had 3 empresses, which was unusual. This was because one died, one couldn't give him a boy but the last one did. It sounded pretty grim working for him though as when he died he had his best men killed too, also his concubines. He had a load of people build his tomb before he died & to make sure that no one knew ...

... During this time, the Brits, Japs, French and basically everyone continued to raid China. They looted for treasures and burned many beautiful places to the ground to cover their tracks. The General was very wise in allowing the Nationalists to become weaker as they fought off the Japanese while the Communists watched. When the time was right, the General took over from the weakened party and proclaimed China both Communist and ...
