Beijing

Huge city, with an awesome night life. Heavy traffic during peak hours, but otherwise the roads are smooth and the freeways are not that bad. Surprisingly a lot of foreigners, and as expected a lot of people walking on the roads. I stayed in this beautiful city for a month and I can go back for sure. The food and high-end restaurants are the best part. Had a lot of meat. A LOT!! Roast duck was my favorite. Never had it before. The skin of the roasted duck is a delicacy you MUST have. Had sea otters. They were alright. Had some beef stomach which was good.

Went to the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Summer Palace. Great Wall is truly amazing. We did walk a lot on it. Some of the slopes are very steep and you gotta hold the side rails to keep going. Easily the best thing I saw in China. We also went to Quin Dao (that is where the Chinese beer Tsing Tao is made). It is a nice city with ocean views and some beaches. Not as modern or developed as Beijing ofcourse, so I am guessing it was a more authentic experience of China.

I am so glad I had this opportunity. It is really great to have these experiences with different cultures, food and people. Even though language was a barrier I did everything that I wanted to. So no complaints.
