China - Day 3

China Day 3 –
Communication Breakdown would be the words I would use to explain day 3. We traveled from shanghai to Beijing and our flight was unbelievable! It was the best service, cleanest airplane, and the nicest airplane I have ever been on! After we got into Beijing the first thing we notice is that the smog is so oppressive! It seriously is the worst smog I have ever seen anywhere in the world. You cough when you go outside even for a moment. Immediately after arriving we decided to visit T-Square. We walked around there for awhile, people were everywhere. It was like our Washington DC, people have made pilgrimages from all over China just to see this place. You defiantly get the feeling of a communist government when you are down there. We ran into a few young Chinese people just wanting to speak English with someone, so we humored them and had a few conversations. People in Beijing defiantly do not speak a lot of English. It is hard to communicate here.

After we toured T- Square we decide to go in hunt of the famous roasted duck. We found a place called Quanjude Roast Duck. This place was crazy! It was packed with hundreds and hundreds of locals and tourists enjoying a full course roasted duck meals. They brought out so much different stuff, it was a little overwhelming. Also, they had sweet and sour duck, which was very similar to something out would get at any American Chinese restaurant. It was very fun! Tomorrow we are heading to the Great Wall of China. It should be very cool!
