Sorry we've been out of contact for so long! Serious lack of internet in Beijing. We arrived a fair few days ago, and since then did a three hour trek along the Great Wall of China. The wall was spectacular, and the section we did had very few tourists. It was definitely the hilight of China for me! Beijing is a MASSIVE city so you have to get taxis a lot, but the tube is only 20p per journey AND it's really clean (why do we pay so much in London when it's so much worse?!) Everything in China is so so cheap: got really nice dinner last night for 1GBP.
We have also done Tiannamen Square and The Forbidden City, been to a belly dancing restaurant with snakes and shisha for our final night on the tour, and been out to celebrate 2 peoples birthdays. Oh also before the great wall, we saw an acrobatics show, had peking duck at a dodgey place in the middle of nowhere (but my peking tofu tasted excellent and the duck was VERY good apparently). We only got 3.5 hours sleep last night as was out celebrating someones birthday. Tonight it's our final night: we're going to see a Kung Fu show, and then just chilling out at the hostel with some people from our tourgroup.
Jess is flying home tomorrow morning, and I'll be flying to Australia, so this will be our last blog of Asia and our last blog together. This is very sad.
