I didn't do what I said I was going to do. I went to the Summer Palace with my new group of friends. We walked around for 9 hours in a gorgeous park and building complex that looks like Leafy Gardens in Rollercoaster Tycoon. And my legs are sore from the great wall so all the stairs and walking was very awkward. And I got sunburnt.Today will be more of the same.
We're heading out to the Temple of Heaven and the Lama Temple and Drum Tower. This is my last night before getting on the train to Chengde in the morning where I will be meeting my host Mia Jiang.
So far I feel really safe but I just blew my nose and it's really dirty....
