End of Beijing

Oh so I forgot to mention the scams.
Well by and large the people are an honest bunch here,
you usually get the correct price for things and people are quite friendly too,
with many speaking english to a reasonable level.
So this means you could be excused for letting your guard down when a student couple wants to practice their english on you, no problem right.
So walking down the road in step chatting with the usual host of questions etc. and then "do you want to stop for some tea". Ah sure why not, it's China, you get endless tea for free with your meals here.
A half dozen minuture cups of different types later and you're landed with an astronomical bill, ahh.

Incedentally I can't access my blog here (in China), I can write it but not read, hmmm, must be something to do with cencorship or something, so all those coments are going unread by me at any rate, so send me an email ...
