Day 2 in Beijing
Another busy day in Beijing. Today we went to visit the Olympic village, the Bird’s Nest stadium was pretty incredible. As well as its size the structure was extremley impressive. Korea came with us and whilst in the park we were spotted by some school kids who wanted to speak english, this prompted Korea to tell them we were British actors which meant about 5 cameras worth of photos with them! After a wonder around th park we headed to the main shopping street in Beijing. Altough it sounds strange it felt a bit like waking into China town in soho! We just got back to the hostel after a taxi ride that at home would have been close to 20 pounds was in fact 2 pounds 20!!! Tonight we plan to head to the nearby night market where grant is contemplating eating scorpian. I dont think i am brave enough for that but may give the snake a go!! Thats all from me today!!

Scorpion – yuk! Snake sounds good though. No turtle testicles yet then? (lol)
Don’t fancy the scorpion or the snake, bet Tristan doesn’t try it…Keep up with the blog, its brilliant.
Beijing 1 & 2 very interesting. You’re lucky you can wander. When we went we were confined to conducted tours! Have fun and enjoy.
