Travelling : Beijing
Hello!I've been back for a few days now and am still pretty tired from the rather intense holidays I had and (probably) still slightly jet lagged.For those who didn't know, as I did not really write about it on the blog, I went to visit one of my very best friends who is currently living in Shanghai. Since I had to fly for 11 hours to go there and 12h40 to go back, I thought I might as well visit a few places while on the other side of the world and picked Beijing and Tokyo.Travelling alone was a wonderful experience in China, as you tend to be an attraction when you don't look asian and people keep on talking to you in a very natural manner. All in all, I actually felt most at ease with the Chinese folk, as they don't care much about conventions and seemed overall rather chilled. Yes, they do talk loudly and yes they spit (which is well... eww) BUT they are also warm and laugh easily and always help even if they don't know how to speak english.
