Study Tour: Beijing

DAY SIX

         We went to the Great Wall of China. AHHH!!! It’s proof that pure disregard for the rights of human beings yields wondrous results. The fall colors were fantastic and it was just the right amount of cold. We couldn’t have had a better day.

         It’s been surreal going to these places that I’ve read about in books for years. Little, fat, third grade Mackenzie who wrote her report on China would have her mind blown at the life I am living. Even I don’t believe it.

         To get up to the wall there’s this chairlift that you take, which is fun, but nothing compared to the ride down. They have alpine slides that you ride down and it was awesome!

         After that we went to a tomb that was a waste of time and money.

         Then we had our Peking duck dinner. HOLY SWEET MOSES OF EVERYTHING GLORIOUS. It was delicious. One of the best meals I have ever had (sorry Mom). This restaurant was world famous and packed full. But worry not, the bathroom was still just a building outside that had no stall walls (that was awkward).
