I was just informed that we'll be taking a train to BeiJing tonight. Being the capital city of the country, I am sure it's busier and probably more polluted than Harbin, where we are currently staying. I need to pack some clothes, but I have no idea how long we'll be staying for. These details are still being worked out. I don't want to sound like a bore, but taking off to a totally foreign (literally) city with no set plans can be kind of well, exciting!! Yeah! Let's do it!
We won't be totally cut off from reality though. My wife's friend lives in BeiJing, and another cousin works a couple hours away. At least we'll be able to throw together a search party, in case I decide to go wandering around the Great Wall, or if my sleepwalking kicks in again. I've been pretty good so far. I haven't gotten up once to raid the refrigerator in the middle of the night. Back home, I've been known to chow down while snoring. Usually my wife will catch me on my way down the stairs, but if she's in a really deep sleep, I can usually eat my way through a tub of ice cream or a pack of cold cuts before I wake up and realize what I'm doing.
While in BeiJing, we are going to visit the Great Wall, Tienenman Square, hopefully The Forbidden City, and I'm excited to see what the inside of a dumpster looks like in BeiJing. I hear they use that new yellow paint for their dumpsters. It should be very memorable.
So, I won't be posting anything for a few days, but rest assured I'll keep a journal and type everything out when I return to Harbin. Happy trails, and thanks for reading.
