Beijing et all...

Well yet again another great weekend. This time it was Beijing with Ben, Sophie and Carol. Thumbs up to Sheila, Dom and ofcourse the Shanghai crew!

1. A day trip to Simatai (The Great Wall). Let me be simple as always "Fantastic, Tiring". Loved every minute of it.
2. The finest Long Island Ice Teas i have had in helluva long time at The Q Bar.
3. The Beijing Duck Experience. Loved it!
4. Tianamen Square (better not comment), Forbidden City (great, though under re-furbishment in prep for the Olympics). Why cant these sites be kept as they are, why this refurbishing?
5. The Fucked up Beijing Traffic (and i thought Shanghai was bad).
6. How can i forget the lovely weather.
7. Beijing also has great brunch places.

Pictures will come soon.

Started reading Tipping Point. Freakonomics, World is Flat and Mao will follow shortly. Next week i will finally get to set my foot on two CEE countries (a week in Poland, couple of days in Hungary) and a few days in the land of great food, gorgeous women and short ties "Italy".

For sure, road trip in Northern Italy beckons. Been wanting to do this for long.

Time to hit the sack!
