I had such an amazing time. Any one want to come to China and do it with me?
I arrived in the early morning on Saturday, ate my breakfast in Tiananmen Square and some English speaking Chinese teachers started talking to me. We went to a traditional tea ceremony and then they bought me a turtle. (It died.) Then I went with a tour group of 6 (total) to the Great Wall. Everything was provided, the food, the beer, the sleeping bags, and the transportation. I came back to Zhengzhou on Sunday, around midnight.
It was wonderful!

| Sometimes the hike meant that we couldn't be on the Great Wall. Some of the wall was not safe. |

| When I first arrived in Beijing, this woman took me to a tea ceremony and bought me a turtle. The turtle's name is Jackie Chan. |

These pictures are so cool! You look like you're having such a good time. More people should be able to experience the things you do. But until I finally get to that point, I'm content to live it vicariously through you. Try to sneak me back a Chinese Honeybaked Ham.
