After nearly a month in China we are finally back in Beijing and ready to head back to Bangkok, for a few days shopping before going home!! Back to mums lamb roast and some warm clothes, looking forward to it!
We left our kiwi and welsh friends in Shanghai and flew to Beijing, and it took us 2.5hrs to get from beijing airport to the city center, so we finally arrived at 1am. Walking through the streets at that hour was an eye opener as to just how many homeless people are sleeping on the streets. Back to the same hostel we stayed in last time, the bathrooms are awful but it has a central location, you cant win them all.
We met up with some english girls that we met in Xi'an and spent most nights with them in the hostel bar. After talking to quite a few fellow travellers we are all ready to leave china, our impressions of this place are the same, Beijing is so not ready to host an olympic games!! the transport system is outdated with tiny paper tickets, no ticket vending machines yo
