Today i've been a really good tourist! Got up at 6 and started driving to the Great Wall. We went to a place at the wall that is away from the usual tourist site, pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Now in the New Years holiday few people visit the wall because its a custom to stay home with family. We walked on the wall over 6 hours, the picture probably describes our journey pretty well...
There is about 600 km of "Wild" Great Wall in Beijing which has never been rebuilt from its original state since ages ago. The wild area was closed but we passed the "wall-block" on the wall and got to see the original parts. It has really been an inhuman project to build the wall and drag all those stones up the mountain, god bless those hard working people who made this miracle.
Hooked up with Ville in Beijing a few days ago, Finland got re-inforcement! Good to talk some swedish once in a while.
