Heya,
Yeah today I´ll be heading to Xi´an at 9pm and I´ll arrive there tomorrow morning. We´ll see what kind of train ride that´ll be as I don´t have the slightest idea what type of seat I got, and you really never know whose gonna sit or sleep on the seat next to you.

Yesterday I went to the Forbidden City where I saw my first Finnish people in China, The Glorious moment. Yeah, and I walked there about 3,5hours. Geesh, in the end I knowingly left the place after that, even thou I missed and didn´t see some places. You can easily loose a half day there if you have the nerv and strength to battle against the Chinese tourists. The place is almost fully packed with them.. come on, don't they have anything else to do than bother me when I´m walking.
Yeah, after the "hike" I went to the closest chinese place to eat, and for my surprise CocaCola there was more expensiver than the food, almost double actually. Foods price was 12cny and Cola was 20cny. hahaha, ridiculous.

Last night I also headed to the commercial "street" Xidan, to see what they got to offer. And for my surprise, everything, from Abibas to Dolge Cabbang, every kind of fake product were sold there, it was 5 floors of shops and stalls. And yeah, also there they offered women "hello sir, wanna have a woman" to me. I don´t know, if its just my pathetic smirk or my huge belly that attracts them towards me. hehe. Ou, it also could be the fact that I'm not chinese. . hmmm

But yeah, laters ..

UPDATE: Photo's

Hooters..

Hooters of Beijing, high point of the day. With the low point being that I forgot my Camera to the safe box, and didn't get any pictures from Hooters. Ou yeah, I also went to Jingshan Park where I saw some weird old people dancing like it was their last day. They were listening to all kind of american pop, from Christina Aquilera to Pink. hehe.. weird people.

In other news I got my first invite to a secret tea room. :)) "Sir, Sir, come to secret tea room. very good tea we have for yuuu, come. Sir Sir, come." Very secret I could've been, so secret that I wouldn't have come back from there. Also, yesterday after my hike I went to the shopping malls to see some clothes and I got a nice offer from a "pimp", he was offering me women from a catalog. "You want a woman, you europe man" .. hahah, was his punch line. :))

But thats it for today, for now. . . .

day three behind, just came to the hostel from the restaurant. I had to get something too eat as I hadn't eating anything but biscuits durin' my hike. :) Yeah, I woke up at 6am local time and 6:30 the bus left towards the great wall of china. The trip took about 2½ hours to go there by car so it would've been a great opportunity to sleep, Would've. :) Anyway, we reached the destinations, and me, plus 8 others and the guide started a hike from one "tower" destionation to another. The whole hike was 8,5 kilometers and it overed 30 towers and lasted about 4½ hours. It was cruel and hard as hell, with the climate being a positive bonus (only a bit of wind, and mainly sunny). You wouldn't belive what the condition were for most parts of the wall (check the photos), and what was the elevation we had to walk. There were some HUGE stairs some for tiny people. hehe. Anyway after a 4 hour walk we reached the destionation, from there we took a "string"glider thingy down and there headed back to the hostel (after a few beers of course).

This really was a wonderfull and awesome day, I really wouldn't belive that I was there, as the scenary was so magnificent.

But all for now and see ya
