Beijing Points Continued

1 - Cheap food/cheap snacks. Mmmm....It's like 5-10 RMB per delicious food item, or a range of about 50 cents to a dollar and a half. Highlights so far: cheap Pocky, cheap haw flakes, cheap grilled lamb on a stick, cheap sugar crusted fruit in a stick. Still working on getting that moon cake.

2 - It is, indeed, a Great Wall. Many inclines, declines, reclines. Smoking on the Great Wall, while prohibited, seems to be a favorite activity. And people wonder why they're having such a hard time climbing up flights of stairs. Plus the roller coaster/trolley thing on the way down? Awesome. Youtube evidence later.

3 - Not too smoggy (thank goodness). Also some brilliant weather. It actually gets cool, with little to no humidity. It's great.

4 - The subway is also pretty sweet, though not quite up the level of HK. More crowded, seemingly less organized. Very cheap though!

5 - More to come later I'm sure
