In Canada, flying used to be a common part of my working and personal life, but since coming to Korea, I hadn’t left the country in 11 months had developed a horrible feeling of cabin fever. So, the pleasure, excitement and thrill of taking a trip to Beijing was that much more appreciated and need. Oh, and how can one pass up Chinese New Year in China!!??
I didn’t believe it was possible to pack so much into such a quick trip.. but 5 days later, I’ve come home having climbed the Great Wall, explored the Forbidden City, stood in Tiananmen Square, watched New Year fireworks, visited the Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace and Llama Temple, Watched a acrobatics show and martial arts performance, took part in a tea ceremony, rode a rickshaw through the ancient part of town, danced with Mongolian performers, bargained for cheap goods, and flew business class.
Though I may have hated touring in sub-zero temperatures, the experience was amazing and well worth every toe I froze off in the process.
