... laptop case out the door. I pushed it all down the street (where the sidewalk was missing and it was really hard) and ended up walking in the taxi lane so I wouldn't miss the bus if it drove by. I was just about to the stop when the bus pulled up, the man helped me with my bags, and I collapsed into a seat. Great start!
Once I got to the airport I had to wait for the counter to open at 7am. One of my suitcases was 4kg ...

... to document them all.

All the areas, buildings, etc are extremely clean. There are people picking up garbage everywhere, although most people use the garbage cans. Our hotel is “shining” clean. There is no dust in any corners and you cannot see a little spot “where the cleaner missed”.

... To unlock the device, you must know the poem or phrase that will align the tumblers correctly. The merchants were quite ambitious when they saw us, quoting us prices about 10-20 times higher than the number we eventually settled on with them.

After shopping, we headed to Beijing’s main train station and picked up our tickets for the following day’s departure to Shanghai.

Beijing is a city of large proportions. Massive boulevards—one the ...

... abolished all tobacco billboards, including "Love Our China," but the advertising reappeared after the Games, said an official at the Shanghai Health Education Institute. Shanghai should take the initiative in tobacco control as it will host the World Expo in 2010, officials said. In 2003, China signed the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which commits it to banning all types of tobacco promotion by 2011.

... and 3 blade large 220 KV. If you have all American plugs make sure to get the grounded 2 blade plug adaptor in the states, or you will have a real hard time everywhere, as most countries in Asia are not grounded, and the adaptors are not set up for the 2 pin one blade American grounded plugs. 5 Camera seems like a natural, but not for this reason.

So where I left off I was hanging out with my friend Ted in Shanghai. He grew up in the states so we were always speaking English... it's awesome speaking a language that pretty much no one around you can understand. We'd always see people doing something weird and just be like "Oh look at this ****er," only we'd say it like 2 feet away from them. Anyways, on my last day in Shanghai I had slept over at Ted's house. We went from his place to the old part of ...

... breakfast and dinner, so we all had a great dinner caught up on news with the free international magazines, and spent the rest of the night being lazy in our hotel room. The next day had amazing weather, so we went to Purple Bamboo park not far form the hotel. It's the time of the year in Beijing when a certain tree buds and there are white puffy cotton balls flying around everywhere.

The next day we did the Great wall, it really is huge... and I know everyone knows that but you cant really get a feel of just how big it is until you see it in person...

... I understand, Chairman Mao enjoyed dining there especially for their Peking Duck. To date since their new location (the old one had little parking) they have served well over 150 million Peking Ducks. I can see why as it was delicious and every morsel of duck was consumed. For those of you who don't know what Peking Duck is, it is a honey infused duck that is roasted to perfection. The skin is crisp while the meat remains tender ...
