I was in Beijing again yesterday for one day. I was sad it was only one day but I have run out of time to travel any longer. Perhaps on account of having Chinese friends in New Zealand (and around the world), I felt the most at home in Beijing out of any other place I visited and would certainly be happy to spend some time living there.
With only one day to spare, I made the most of it, and pre-organised a tour to the Great Wall, Olympic park, and some other sights (I will post photos later). I also spent a small fortune on tea and silk, in leiu of a Mongolian horn which I still have the option to order from New Zealand if I really miss it so badly. I am just hoping the tea makes it through New Zealand customs as I am looking forward to sharing it with people back in New Zealand. It is sealed so here's hoping.
While in Beijing I was flattered by the more than a few pretty Chinese girls that seemed to be taken with my blonde hair and asked to pose in more than a few photos with me. I would always ask the reason, and they would always explain in halting English that it was just nice to have a photo together with a cute boy. I was never one to disagree.
