This post wil be about my month in China in its entirety. DUNN DUNNN DUUUN. Will try not to walloftext you too hard, but brace yourselves. Wall of text is comming.
So after a supermegafreakingdupercrazy awesome month in Japan, I flew out from Kansai-airport, heading for Beijing. I had signed up for a 18 day tour, going from Beijing to Hong Kong. This due to the immense hassle it is to travel independently in China. You need to send in confirmationfrom every hotel you're supposed to stay at along with your other information to get your visa, like what your mother does and if I plan to change my nationality any time soon and stuff. Blergh. In any case, I had 4 days in Beijing before I were to meet up with my group. FOUR DAYS OF HELL. Erhmagerd, the culture shock was like a solid fist to the face, with air pollution, rude and nasty people, honking, crazy driving, animal cruelty, scamming, andIdon't know what else. I barely went out of my hotel those four first days. I might sound like a p**** but s***, after Japan, that s*** scared me. But then I finally meet up with my group of 14 other people, and things got better. I saw the Forbidden City, the Great Wall of China (which was really freaking great), and a pretty decent Kung Fu show, with these crazy children doing backflips with their heads. And the food was also a redeeming factor. Yumtastic.
From Beijing we went to Shanghai. Shanghai was a pretty big ci- waaaait forgot about the sleeper trains. The trains were our main form of transportation, and boy were they...Trains. With tiny, tiny beds. Asia is not made for perfect men my size. But the trains were pretty clean (squat-toilets aside, jeepers creepers), and we had a good time drinking and playing cards on them. Back to Shanghai. We went on a cruise to see the lightshow, which waspretty awesome. And EVERY GODDAMN CHINESE WANTED MY PICTURE. Not every single one, but it wasn't far off. So. Many.Picture. "Hahaha, Leonardo DiCaperio, picture,hahahaha." Apparently, my blonde, beautiful, flowing hair makes me look like a young DiCaperio. Not the worst thing I could be called, I guess. AWYEAH. And then we went to aacrobatic show. The Kung Fu show in Beijing was actually pretty awesome, with both acrobaticsand kung fu, so I had high hopes for the acrobatic show in Shanghai. LOL. Seriously, it seemed like we had crashed a 4th grade gymnastics practice. DOn't get me wrong, the kids were brilliant, but again, they were very young. But mneh, it was.... interesting. After Shanghai, we went to XIAN. WhichI will write about in my next post.GOT YA.
