    Off to China :D

    Rightyhoo, so tomorrow I'm flying out to China for two weeks holiday.

    Anyone here been? I'm going to Shanghai and Beijing.

    What should I keep my eyes peeled for? Any good gadgets I should try to get while I'm there?

    Bejing is fantastic..... I so enjoyed my two weeks there last year.

    If you get the chance go to the Great Wall, its a day trip, but very worthy.

    The Forbidden palace is also very good.

    Never been to Shanghai, but its on my list

    matt.

    Beijing is so not what I expected... very Westernised now... except you'll be hard pushed to find a McDonalds (thank the Lord for small mercies).

    I saw the largest KFC I have seen in my LIFE in Beijing though... it was the size of a small shopping center!

    watch out for all the pirate DVDs you'll be offered - and food is cheap if you go off-peak buffet places.

    Take a picture of you standing on the Great Wall, holding a sign up to space with 'Can you see me?!?!?!!?!!?' on it, please.
