Yesterday, I went to a local concert (well, it was a German artist called Clueso who had a sweet performance, btw) but it made me felt like I had discovered something beyond what normal visitors would. This was the same feeling I got when I went ice skating at a place in Zurich once.<br><br>3. Eating like a local<br>By ...

... not going to have to fight with mass tour groups today. Sweet! The cable car ride was short and soon we were on the Great Wall. We were thrilled to have the Great Wall all to ourselves. (Tour groups did start to show up at around 9am or so).<br><br>The view was spectacular, of course.

Nem azt mondom, hogy élvezetes volt a hajóút, de nekem amúgy is pihenésre volt szükségem így vizsgák után, na meg koreait is tanulnom kellett, mivel 1 hetet hiányoztam suliból, s koreaiból ez nagy lemaradást jelentett. 23 órásnak mondták a hajóutat, mégis több lett bel&#337;le.
