The Great Wall of China was an impressive sight. It is amazing what people could accomplish when there was no TV to distract them. It also reminded me how we desperately try to control and protect everything even though it doesn't really work.
Things I am experiencing:
1.) Being 13 hours off on time zones sucks. If I wake up one more time at 3am wide awake I am not going to be happy
2.) I
am really enjoying the extended time with Shelley. We have had some great conversations.3.) What I enjoy most about traveling is interacting with new people. I could live without guided tours and crowds of people. I keep asking our tour guide personal questions that get them talking about themselves and not facts about China.
4.) China is progressing as a nation. The Olympics really changed them. Three years ago you could only get three vegetables in Beijing now you can get anything you want. Before they had two subway lines now they have 9. People here have what appears to be a genuinely positive attitude about there home country.
