Beijing
And I thought the flight to Johannesburg was bad. I don't even know what day it is now - Friday went away somewhere.
Beijing. Good thing I've kept up the Mandarin - the locals keep trying to do the stupid tourist thing on us and the expressions they get when Doug hits them with accent-perfect Mandarin or Cantonese is hysterical.
Powers-wise... yup, was right about the old. Really old. Tastes like chicken, sort of... bland? Must be all the contraints. I wonder if some of the other Chinese cities would be different? And Tiananmen Square gave me a headache. Just a little one. Governments shouldn't try and kill their own people - it messes with the energy of the place.
Sorry for the disjointed. It's been a long week.
