At the beginning of August I had a 4 day weekend and my friends and I decided to hit up Beijing, China with a side trip to the Great Wall of China! I have had the Great wall on my bucket list forever and it usually was up near the number 1 slot. Even thought the visa for American’s is ridiculously expensive compared to EVERY other country in the world…I coughed up the money and went. And here is what happened!
First Stop- Tiananmen Square
2nd Stop- The Forbidden City
3rd Stop- Pecking Duck!
The famous food of Beijing
Stop 4: Another Temple
Rambo Rachel
A library
Expired food is delicious!
7Eleven and Expired Food
5th Stop- The Night Market
Scorpions on Sticks!
Stop 6- the Great Wall!
We went up in the car instead of hiking up the steps (cheaters!)
We got to take the toboggan down!
Stop 7- The Olympic Park and the Nest
They make homemade yogurt and then sell them in these cups. i didn’t try it but my friends did and they said it was good.
