I never wanted to travel to Asia - I just didn't have the right feel to it!
Then three girlfriends asked me to join them on a trip from Moscow to Beijing and I agreed!
We took the Transsiberian Railway and arrived in Beijing -
and step by step I realized, that it was not all that bad in China,
in fact, that it was quite nice....
Although time was rather short, we saw many things in and around Beijing and the unbelievable happened:
I returned to China two years later!!!

The more I read of you pages the more interesting China is becoming!
Christine, next week I'm wil look around in Beijing. So it's nice to look around at your page now.
Such a wonderful city! And wonderful page, too! I love it!!
Da will ich auch hin!!! Maybe next year...not sure yet. Great photos!
Beijing and China is certainly on our wish list and you got to see it, not once but twice.
Very funny about not knowing which way to read the menus, I would be in the same situation : ) China would be quite an adventure - I bet your journey on the Transsiberian Railway was interesting in itself!
Meanwhile I also have been here. Sometimes the crowds are just too much. Lovely page!
Your page leaves me wanting more :)))) It looks so fascinating ;)
Gute Abend Christine (evening here downunder). Thanks 4 visiting my Beijing page & now I've had the pleasure to visit yours. I felt that the Forbidden City was much bigger than the Temple of Heaven. Yi huir jian meine freundin.
More great pages on one of my favourite cities in the world! Glad to see you've discovered Asia's "not that bad!"
