At Sydney International Airport
I just came home after a week in Beijing, China! The trip was filled with many new experiences - from squat toilets which required BYO toilet paper, to trying new foods (including dried cuttlefish and duck's tongue, both of which were delicious). We climbed the Great Wall and dressed up as royalty at the Summer Palace; learnt how to properly hold a tea cup and drink it in three sips; and bargained with some very assertive store holders. It was a short but very busy trip! This is the diary of day one.
Our first glances of Beijing, on the tarmac (we arrived at 6 o'clock in the morning!)
The fanciest toll gate I've ever seen!

ReplyDeleteLooks like theres a lot of good food you're munching on. I've also been so curious about these love locks. Those look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI hope the other days were just as amazing.
