John and Caitie's Travels
We arrived sweaty and tired after a long day of travelling at our hotel in BEIJING, where we were immediately asked to drop our bags off and come downstairs for the orientation meeting. Nicole, our guide who is from Chengdu, warned us about all sorts of things in China, like thieves and beggars, scams and counterfiet money. Looks like our taxi driver, not only overcharged us (we were too tired and confused to argue) and got lost a number of times (actually getting out to ask for directions) also gave us a fake 50!!! I already have a feeling our trip through Asia is going to be VERY different. But I suppose that is the point - try new things, meet new people, see new places (and probably get ripped off a few times along the way!)
