Beijing
I've been in Beijing for two days and I love it. This city is actually much cleaner than I expected (they are really cleaning it up for the Olympics) and its pretty nice too. I've been really surprised by how nice it is, this is definitely a great city. Today I climbed to the top of the Great Wall which was an awesome experience. I'm at an internet cafe and don't have time to write much, just wanted to say whats going on and to say that this city is pretty awesome....and really cheap (cabs are around 2 dollars to go 5 miles or so, food is so cheap, beer is even cheaper, yesterday I got a 600 mL bottle of Tsingtao (around 22 oz) for less than a dollar at a restaurant)! I'll definitely write more when I'm back on the ship in 3 days, but I just wanted to give a quick update. Tomorrow we are hitting up Tianamen Square and the Forbidden City which should be awesome, then in two days we are off to Hong Kong! Hope everything is good with everyone back home!

Hi Max,
I bet the Great Wall was amazing! Can't wait to hear details of the adventures and see some pictures! I'm glad you're enjoying China, and finding it to be better than you expected it would be. Where have you guys stayed? I wonder how the food is? Who have you been traveling with? Well - I guess I'll get the next installment soon enough... look forward to it.
Have a great time in Tianamen Sq. and Forbidden city!
