In Beijing

The driver to the airport got the wrong way 3 times, bad weather delayed my flight more than two hours, a person panicked during the flight. But finnally I arrived in Beijing, grabbed a starbucks coffe and jumped on the subway to meet my friend Jessica. Subways system here is easy go with, like in any big city and staff is better in english here, so its easy to ask for help.
I checked in at Qianmen Hostel, a simple and cousy place, close to Forbidden City. Hostels are pretty much the same whereever you go over the world and all nationalitys, so you don't get stared out here either. We walked along the streets, looked at some shopping and ate a simple dinner. At night we saw a Chinese Acrobatic show wich was impressing. So talented and gymnastic people! The grand finale was 5 men on motocykles driving around inside a round cage. Crazy! After that, a second coffee from starbucks! (yes, Im tired of drinking coffee of powder).
 
Because of slow internet it seems impossible to upload photos at the moment :(
Getting up in less than 5 hours, (5am). Back to you then!
