The Great wall and culinary adventures

We began the day with breakfast. We just went to the first place with alot of people that we saw. Food is dirt cheap! We got breakfast for ¥12 for the two of us, which is like $1.50. Jasper got 羊肠汤，or lamb...gizzards soup. It looks like a concoction out of a witch's cauldron. It's amazing our stomach's haven't revolted against us yet.


Then we went finding a place to do DT. We stumbled upon a familiar sight. So it seems that the prices at Starbucks is the same as the US, ¥20 for a grande Americano, which is about $2.85. Only foreigners (who go to starbucks in their home country anyway...like us) visiting China can afford to get Starbucks casually. After that we took public transit to the Great Wall.

Pretty amazing sight, but it would've been better if the sky hadn't been thick with....smog/fog. We couldn't figure out what it was, but as you can see in the pictures the sky is one giant cloud...(of China's growing prosperity!)


The climb up the Great Wall is actually quite arduous. I don't know what the elevation change was, but the climb reminded me of upper Yosemite falls.



Finally, we ended the day with a meal from 全聚德, apparently the OG of Peking Duck places. It was actually pretty expensive, but oh was it good.
