photo montage: great wall!

---

Yesterday, Thursday, we went to the Great Wall. I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit disappointed to go to Badaling again... and the trip there - the jade emporium, the horrible lunch, and the asian-sized benches and melting ice cream - wasn't so great. But then we arrived! And, really, for a few hours, Badaling is as good as any. Since we went during the week, it wasn't very crowded, and since we were there in the late afternoon, most busses had already left....

My 3rd time to the Wall. Shanhaiguan with Syd and Brent in Jan '07, Badaling with Clo in April '07, and Badaling with Ben and Arielle in July '08.
