Beijing - last days

---

13 days in Bejing. We are trying to figure out what we did here so many days while visiting mostly the must sites...

The highlight is the tour to the wall. Not because of the wall (well it is amazing) but becasue of the company. we chose going with the "chinese cultural club"- a local club that organizes luctures and trips for foreigners here. we paid twice than the other tours for backpackers and got a fancy bus, very nice lunch and a guide that realy speaks english. But the company, ach the company: Leah and her sister from Canada (60's) , a couple from Manhatten and their mother , eshet ha consul ha germany and few other who are not jewish or have some connection to jewish...
The german lady said that the israeli resutarnt with the humus near the embassy is not very good - we havn't checked it.

besides that we did 3 half days of shopping. the chinese concentrated all kinds of markets that probably were here few years ago to 5 big shopping centers. each one is like 5 floors of duhanim which all sells the same things.
the rule is simple: if the girl (vendor) almost cry in the end of the bargening - we got a very good price. If she is happy - we paid too much.

what other things we did here:
- one full body exclusive massage
- twice foot massage and manikur+pedicur
- one doctor visit
- puking once
- 2 palaces & 2 temples
- 2 times at starbucks and macDonalds
- one wall and tomb
- OLIMPIC VILLAGE!!!
- 3 times Peking Duck meal
- one movie (16 blocks)

One our way to Shaulin - stay with us...
