Beijing Trip!

I have been to Beijing twice, but haven't had the opportunity to explore which makes me sad. Supposedly, Shanghai and Beijing contain lots of adventure and fun. I won't be able to go to Shanghai due to it being very far.

My school will give us a vacation April 29th to May 3rd. On Tuesday (the 30th), I get the chance to experience Beijing. I will be leaving Dongying on an 8:30 a.m. bus; I will be meeting Britni, Eileen, and Nicky in Beijing. We will be staying in the same hostel (Sanlitun Hostel), but they will be leaving the following day.

Wednesday, I will head to the airport to pick Boba up! We'll be staying in Beijing until late Friday. Boba told me he's always wanted to see Tian'anmen Square and the Forbidden City. I also looked in my Lonely Planet to see if there was anything that caught my eye. I told him about the Summer Palace, so that's also on our list.

I saw there were three malls in Beijing! I almost flipped my lid in excitement! I haven't been to a mall in forever. As much as I love NYC's fashion, I wish there were more malls. I like having everything under one roof when I am super lazy and don't want to take the subway anymore. I miss window-shopping! I bet I'll see SO many things I want to buy. Too bad I'll be broke! At first I didn't want to go, but Boba convinced me to go anyway.

Boba will come back to Dongying with me after Beijing. I think he'll definitely notice the difference. I am in a very very small city and there isn't much to do. I'll probably take him to all the places that I frequent. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures!
