... and what must be like 15 litre bottles of chivas and black label in the middle of the tables. So there was us four stood up (you werent aloud a table unless you had one of them fruit things - or so we were told) drinking glasses of coke that we topped up with smuggled in liquor in our socks. This was a close call, they search you on entry and must have stopped about half an inch away from my ankle. The cheap bottles of liquor here cost like 30p. Ridiculously cheap although ...

... we climbed to the highest point of our walk and had to turn around - WOW! It really was GREAT! I went from throwing elbows at other tourists to standing in awe of an incredible man-made feat!

The wall just keeps going and going. It twists and turns and goes high along the hills. It is really beautiful. I am glad that we are going to go to another section of the wall on another day. We are going to head further out to a less touristy area and I think it is going to ...

... and description as well as a group photo for all of us on the trip, which is a great souvenir. After we left Tian'an Men Square heading for the Forbidden City, we stopped for lunch. When you have a meal in China, you all sit around a big table, and in the middle is a giant Lazy Susan. We had sweet and sour pork, French fries, a chicken dish, pepper steak, another beef dish, rice, fish, cabbage, egg drop soup, and a few other things I couldn't identify. It was a fabulous meal, and ...

... for being sucked in. The best thing to do would be rent a bicycle and ride around the existing local Hutong on your own. Pete has bicycled to many such places before so he would not want to make himself another victim. But if you never saw something like it and really want to experience being pulled by rickshaw man, Y80 is worth it!

... buy bottled drinks. Never order a drink with ice. Do not eat fruit or vegetables unless peeled or cooked. Avoid cooked foods that are no longer piping hot. Cooked foods that have been left at room temperature, particularly in hot and humid conditions, are particularly hazardous. Avoid un-pasteurized milk and any products made from un-pasteurised milk, such as ice cream. Avoid buying food and beverages from street vendors. Do not eat raw or undercooked meat or fish ...

Igaar leide vi hver vaar sykkel, og cruisa rundt i Beijing. Det var en smule surrealistisk aa sykle i sykkelfeltet forbi den himmelske fredsplass og bildet av Mao paa den himmelske freds port. Det er som regel sykkelfelt paa alle veiene, men bilistene bryr seg ikke akkurat om det, for de tuter, og kjoere opp paa sida av deg, og bussene parkerer i sykkelfeltet. Saa det var noen risky situasjoner. Vi ville finne den ...

... English style bar miles away from us, so we get a taxi up to it. Think we must have been the only English in the bar, big grouop of Russians, group of Americans and then a few Chinese, nightmare! So needless to say when England lost the game it wasn't the best place to be sat drinking in, although the Russians left shortly after the game and so we stayed and played pool with the regulars... at least we can hold our heads up high and say England won something that ...

It has been three days since I got to China. After the rain on Saturday, Sunday was nice and clear. Hoever since then, I have experience the Beijing smog. It was much worst than LA was back when it was back there. So most days here you don't need sunglasses but rather face masks! I am hoping that once we get out to the hiterlands, the pollution won't be as bad. As for yesterday, I saw the Forbidden City and the Ming Wall. The Forbidden City was ...

... waar we lekker gegeten hebben. Na het eten werd ons gevraagd of we dvd's wilden kopen. Wij vonden dat wel interessant, dus toen werden twee sporttassen vol met dvd's aangesleept en kon de malafide handel beginnen. Uiteindelijk was ik er nog het goedkoopst vanaf met 3 stuks voor 1.8 euro. Rob kocht een box met alle 10 seizoenen van Friends en nog wat films, en ook de dames kochten wat meer dan ik. Na het eten naar huis gegaan en ons opgemaakt voor ons ...
