Entry from: Beijing, China Entry Title: “Shopping Beijing” Entry: “China was mostly what I had expected. Big city, lots of people, large neon signs in Chinese, and I stood out like a sore thumb wherever I went. I had a great time though. It was so interesting and beautiful and I really like this city. I like how you can bargain prices, and I like how the sales girls get mad at me because I get them lower than most of the other foreigners. I like how even if I don’t know Chinese at all, you can still get around and function perfectly normal. I also really like the food, well most, and I especially love Beijing Duck. It is full of fat and really isn’t that good for you but it is fun to eat and tastes good. You make tiny tacos out of it. They come out with the different parts, the super thin tortilla, the veggies and the duck and some sauce and you dip the duck in the sauce add some veggies, roll it up and eat it. It takes a long time to eat it, cause the tacos are so small, but it is so good. The last couple days were more of my shopping days. I hadn’t bought anything the entire time while I was in China so I decided that the last days were going be the days where I check out what Beijing has to offer shopping wise.

Entry from: Beijing, China Entry Title: “Don’t eat snickers bars in China” Entry: “In keeping on a theme, getting to Beijing was no mean feat either. Armed with a piece of paper that apparently read “soft sleeper to Beijing tomorrow please”, off to the train station I went. The surly government official added two symbols, which were deciphered by a stranger “No train”. I pondered all the way back to the hostel, bumped into another traveller, who suggested I fly. Found the travel agent, who mistook the word plane for train. After much Q&A via an interpreter, 24hrs later, I had my train ticket to Beijing, soft sleeper. I nearly missed the train as I went up the wrong street. No sooner was my LP guide out of my bag, than a taxi driver was at my side offering me a ride. It was on this train that I encountered my first dilemma ordering from a Chinese menu. That dilemma being, I had NO idea what i was ordering. I pointed at something that had a picture, thinking it was small order. A few minutes later, five plates of what looked like food appeared. Battered pilchard (ie. bait), mixed egg/tomato, rice, hot cucumber in hot water, and some kind of mushrooms in hot water. Six of the biggest security guards/police were seated near me, so escaping was futile. I picked at the tomato and rice and when they werent …
