Beijing Days 7&8

We were supposed to go to the Great Wall, but I really wasn't feeling up to climbing around on a bunch of stairs when I had a horrible head cold with a splitting headache and barely being able to breathe. I decided to stay in the room while Zach went and ran errands. He was totally a good friend and got me soup and watched movies with me.

That evening, after napping and recovering, we ventured over to Wangfujing for some Outback Steakhouse. It was EXPENSIVE (230 qui per person). But it was worth it for the blooming onion, potato soup, and steak and mashed potatoes. We also made another stop at the pirated DVD shop for some more movies. When we got back, we went out for tea with our Spanish friend, Barbara, and sat and talked for three hours. It was so much fun!

Day 8

5:30 wake up call for the 6:30 train back to Chengde. Ass crack of dawn if you ask me.
