Beijing musings

So we've started off our Asian trip with Heiko,who's come to visit from Germany.
We'r having a ball of a time here in the other side of the world.
Starting off in Vietnam, we're in Beijing now and off to Shenzhen tomorrow.
Hannah's there to teach English,all the way from sunny Trinidad,Caribbean! God knows why!
Then we'll catch the train to Hongkong, see Emily, n finally Japan for some good food and catchin'up with Miho!

Vietnam's been coool, with its amazing sights and sounds
millions of bikes on the streets, vietnamese bent over the streets slurping on Phos
and traditional ladies in their vietnamese hats,ploughing thru the rice fields.

Beijing's an odd city of modern and old.
I dont really know how to describe it,but an intriguing mix.
We'r still oddly puzzled and disgusted by the Chinese. They spit everywhere you go... parks, streets, even in a nice restaurant!

Heiko and Alberto were practising hard today, while we were resting on the Great Wall. They were doing their best impersonation of the typical Chinese spit, with the sound of their spits and my laughter echoing thru the walls. Puzzled tourists walked past with that disgusted look,wondering what us trio were up to. Ay such funny memories.
