"This is such a great wall!"


Hey there Dear Readers,

How are ya doing?

Looking back over the last few posts, it seems that the tourism aspect of our lives has been well represented. What I haven't been telling you is that we sit on our behinds in class every morning and afternoon. Pictures of us awake in class are less exciting than Titus sleeping on the Great Wall. When they release us from (very valuable) lectures, and we finish our homework, we bum over to some Beijing sites which define or display Chinese culture. Actually, some of our homework has been to observe The Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven.

Here we are on another Saturday-morning escapade to the Great Wall. It was a killer hike up and down. No, sorry, you can't see it from space.

My favorite part of the day was chatting with an adorable leather-faced Chinese grandma, about 4'2", who was collecting tourists' empty plastic bottles. She liked Titus.


Hey, you have a great day. Thanks for stopping by to read.

love Rach
