Mongolia to China!!

Well this is it am in Beijing. The funny thing is is that this is the bit I was the least bothered about but is blowing me away. My gosh, China is awesome.
More on that in a mo.
erm cant remember when last blog was...oh yes, UB, I LOVE Mongolia!! Wish it was easier to get to as these border crossings are hell.
Had a Mongoian Barbeque which is pretty much as it sounds then we went clubbing. On a weds night in Mongolia, it was hilarious. Music was ok, sorta dance music, bit slow for me! Vodka, tiger beer, we kinda took over the place. What a bizarre trip he he it doesnt fail to surprise me this one.
So after about 2 hrs sleep we got on the final train to Beijing. Hellish. Was horrible leaving so early in the morn. Some of the guys were on the beers straight away! Hellish! :)
The border crossing the mongolian side was quite quick, about an hour and a half, then again the chinese side. however we had the bogie change too, that is awesome, they lift the train up (with you in it) and change the bogie thingys! It took about 6 hrs i think. boiling hot, toilets locked, what a palava. russia-mongolai was 9 hours! horribel as hot but cant drink.
it certainly is an experience.
after we crossed into china there was mass rehydrating and a long queue for the toilets he he. was in a cabin with the aussie nutcases Dallas and Lucy and a Brit (not on our trip) called Gordon and he got so hammered and all his stuff was everywhere but he was cool-he went to Exeter Uni (although he has never heard of the Nobody Inn shock horror)!!
So awoke to find meself in China, this place HUGE and busy and very friednly, I feel safe for my afternoon jaunt to Tianeman Square and the Forbidden City. Ansum :) Am really excited!!!
So........omg, yesterday, I climed the great wall, it was SO great, a real amazing piece to see and my brain still cant take it in, i have some awesome pics!!
Cos it was the last night of the tour last night (I have an extra night) we all had dinner together and had some amazing food and lotsa beers for 3 squids!! How cheap??? We then went drinking and had a dance etc, was emotional. I had organised a collection for Heika our guide as she was just great. am hoping to meet some of the others for dinner tonight when they get back from the great wall later (I did it yeaterday so had today to chill round the city with tianemen etc).
thanks to mandy, sailor and bro for msgs, ansum.
rightio, me offski, may get online later to tell all about the fobidden city etc, if not early flight tomorrow.
How the hell do I go back to normal life after this???
