Better Internet..

The internet is working better today, so I figured, while I had the chance that I would upload some pictures from the first day in Beijing. Our hotel is right behind the night markets, so last night we wandered the around and street food from the market for dinner.

Today, we had planned on going to the Great Wall...well, we never found the infamous bus number 6 that would've taken us there. But, we did master the subway system, explore random parts of Beijing that we would've never found, ate an awesome lunch at a food court we stumbled into for less than $3 each, had an indescribable browse through the Wal-Mart Super Center, and spent the afternoon at the Olympic Park. All in all, it was a great day and I am definitely excited to spend New Years Eve here and head up to Shenyang on the 1st.

It's been a blast to just be here, I feel like I am walking around like a child in a toy store, wide-eyed and trying to take everything in. It is so great to get to experience such a unique culture.

Hope you guys have a good New Years!
