Beijing – the way around

Hey Guys,

here i will tell you a few things or better tipps. Most of it comes from my friend in Beijing. I loved Beijing. It has really beautifull places and is a city like the most. Mostly it is like every other city. People talk about culture shock but didn’t had anything like that. Beijing is a really big and smelly city. Of course there are a lot of asians, which brings us totally to the first point.

1) Everyone is looking at you. Everyone and everywhere is taking pictures of you. Some will come to you and asked if they can make a picture with you. They are mostly really cute and nice. You feel like a really important star. Others will totally make pictures of you when you are not looking. They are really obvious about it. Sometimes family place their kids next to you and take pictures.

2) Please look out. The traffic is something else in Beijing. Really it is amazing that there are so little or no crashs. Because everyone is driving like crazy and like the want. Something like red amples means nothing their. Some of them are driving on the walkway and that are just the nice things. Really the traffiy is something else. You can stand the whole way on the crossroad and just watch them better than every soap.

3) The good thing about Beijing is that it have everywhere toiletts. Really everywhere. But they look not really nice…not. Also you should bring your own toilet paper – Chuck was right toilett paper is the most important thing, even when the world is not going down. That toilett paper has to be thrown in the basket beneath the toilett.
What you know is that the toilett are of course all an earth closet.

4) The fastest way to travel is the subway. Normally my best friend and i always walk everywhere, but in Beijing we choose to travel with the subway. The best way is to buy a Transportation Smart Card. To charge the card you go to one of the almost 24 hours open counter. At every station is a security counter where they shine through your purse. The prices are 2 yuan. Just the airport express cost more (25 yuan).

5) Don’t travel in china in summer, but if you do buy many suncreme. It is hot and muggy. So please don’t forget the suncreme.

6) Yeah, don’t eat at the little street stands. Just eat where they have flowing water.

I believe that are the most things that you should know. I hope you have fun. If you had visit beijing i would love to hear your storys and what you think about the city.
