We made it to Beijing on the train today...it was an overnight train ride, it was very smooth but also very smokey..we were in the back and there were lots of smokers back there...
Shanghai was a great city Im excited to go back there with Betsy in feb shes going to love it...ive never been around that many people so it was very humbling for me as was not being able to communicate with anyone except Ben, I consider myself a somewhat social being, so its strange for me to talk to only one person a day....We ate at a very strange French Restaurant our last night in shanghai...Ben and i made the most of it though we left laughing our asses off...I loved Shanghai it was a great place for me to have my first Chinese exposure.
Im very excited about exploring Beijing, I love everything about it so far, the architecture the landscape, everything...we are going to Tiennemen square tomorrow and the Great Wall the day after that...We went to some of the street markets today and I talked a very charming lady down from 45 rmb to 20 rmb (US $3)for a really cute scarf, i love bargaining, she was very impressed with ben's choice in me for his woman. HA! we have seen at least 3 little kids going to the bathroom right on the sidewalk....im talking number one and two.....pretty funny...the little kids over here are so freaking cute!!! even when making a doodle on the street! more to come tomorrow hopefully with some pictures!

Dont step in the kids poo. Im sure im going to be doing a few doodles on the street. I get the shits easily. HAhahaha JK, kinda.
Sounds like you need to get a Chinese conversation book to weigh you down during your travels! I can't imagine you being muted by a language barrier...always remember body language...they'll figure it out when you start flailing!!! Hahahahaha!! When you go to Beijing are you going to see the Olympic Gardens?? Tall trimmed hedges of sports playing Chinese...it looks really interesting though I've only seen it online. Enjoy yourselves and pictures...when you have a chance...pictures!! You know how visual aids help us Amerrycans. :)
Hey--I hope you are having a ball over there! Sean
Beanie,
