Since it´s not everyday I´m in China, I decided to take trip to good old Beijing. The night train took 11,5 hours without any stop and it was a pretty smooth ride. But since I love flying I couldn´t resist to fly domestic in China on my way back. That was even better and China Eastern Airlines kicked many Western airline tails, as far as I´m concerned.

Beijing itself was a positive surprise. I have heard a lot about it from people who have been there before the Olympics and they have been fairly amused. I guess a lot of them wouldn´t recognize the city today, cause it has changed a lot. To the better that is. Apart from seeing the big sights including the Great Wall outside the city, I also had a great time riding a bicycle on the extremely wide streets of Beijing. I reckon that´s the way to explore any city in the world. And especially the capital of China.
