Beijing

As soon as I step into the cubicle I knew that I was back in civilisation, no more crouching to use the facilities... bliss.

Beijing as you'd expect is an impressive place from the sky, after landing it was a simple, and I use the word loosely journey to the Downtown Backpackers. I would have been able to use the word simple if I had a good map from the hostel. I did try - but the Internet failed me.

Anyway so after a 20 minute walk and just going on my natural instincts I stumbled over the hostel.

I've been looking forward to Beijing, give me a chance to get over the Yak Burgers, Yak Steak, Yak Butter Tea and Yak milk and indulge on KFC, Mcdonalds and Pizza Hut.

Also I can finally start to plan Thailand as its getting a bit close and I have no idea where I am going to go... well apart from Bangkok. This will give my girlfriend confidence as she is coming out to visit for 2 weeks.

Anyway tomorrow I'm off to buy some books and scout out the city!
