Trip to Beijing

This morning we left the house at 7:45am to go to the bus station. We
took a bus from Guangzhou to Shenzhen, which took about 2 hours. We
finally got to the airport in Shenzhen with about one hour to spare
before our flight. The cab ride to the airport was interesting because
the door was broken and Jes seriously thought she might fall out of
the cab! Shenzhen was actually really beautiful and modern. It would
be a cool place to go back to and check out. We boarded the plane and
took off for Beijing. The flight was only about 3 hours long. It went
by really quickly. We flew in to an airport about an hour outside
Beijing in Tianjin to save money, and then took a bus from there to
the center of Beijing. It was absolutely freezing in Beijing when we
arrived and we still had to find the metro from the bus station, take
the metro to the hotel stop, find a cab to the hotel, and check in!
All in all, it was an extremely long day of traveling and we were
exhausted by the time we got to our hotel at 8pm that night. We
checked in and then walked down the street and found this Korean BBQ
place to get dinner. We didn't get any BBQ, but what we did get was so
delicious, warm, and all veggies of course! This place was somewhere I
would definitely eat again! We walked back to our hotel in the
freezing cold and passed out, since the next 3 days would be extremely
busy and full of fun :)
