As promised, a short blog about my short trip to Beijing. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera for the best stuff...
It was a spur of the moment decision. Then after 14 hours on a train I was in Beijing.
I did the touristy stuff:
Great wall.
Old (trying to look it anyway) town outside of Beijing. It was lame so I only have close up pictures.
The cat was more interesting than the stuff at this place.
Ming tombs.
Then there is this guy... Like it or not, strange feeling when I watched them raise the Chinese flag at sunrise in Tienanmen Square. I actually saw a couple people crying...
It was the things that I forgot to bring my camera to that were the best. I went to an area near an art university that had loads of small shops, coffee shops, music shops, and live houses. It was so fun. I really with there was a music scene in Yantai. I even ended up playing a few songs at one of the coffee shops. Made friends with a few guys there and then made music with them. It was so fun. Stinking camera stayed home...
That was my time in Beijing. Now I can say I've been there.
It must be fun making music with random people you meet along the road!
