Veg travelers: When in doubt, head to one of the Supreme Master's restos, like Loving Hut on Dongdaqiao Lu in Beijing. Salty but good.

Pictures don't prepare you for how steep and vertigo-inducing the Great Wall is. Especially when there's slushy snow on it. Exhilarating.

Beijing subway system is great: cheap, easy to navigate, relatively clean. They do scan your bags before you enter though.

Holy shiznit. If you go to Beijing, have dinner at Pure Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant. It may be hard to find, but it'll blow your socks off.

Was wondering why Beijing's Silk market was full of Euro/Americans. Turns out it's where tourists go to buy fake brandname goods. Lame.

No photos allowed inside Mao's tomb. His face was lit so bright it looked like it was glowing. Takes 2 security checks to get in.

In Beijing, smog greets you inside the airport and buildings, using a crosswalk is perilous, and a taxi is scarier than a thrill ride.
