Well today was a lot more chilled out than yesterday after the great wall treck. We got up about 10 and walked like 2 miles for some breakfast. then went to the forbidden city but didnt ennd up goin in since it was well too busy so we are going to go tomorrow morning to beat the crowds! we went to an art exibition thing. was really really good. Last nite we had a few beers in the hostel...at 35p for more than a pint of beer (giant bottle). We all love it in beijing but we are thinking about maybe getting the train to xi'an or shanghi after a few days. We gots to go now as we are getting hungry... gonna go eat some more mystery meat or something equally awesome (fish heads, frog, fungus) tried them all! much love, and keep emailing.
