CHINA
Just got back from China recently and am majorly jet lagged. It was the most incredible trip ever partly because everything we did and everywhere we went is so different to home it is difficult for us to imagine. Beijing as a city is very different to London or Paris or Rome because although there is so much beauty around in places such as the summer palace you also have to find beauty in other things like a quick glance down an alleyway uncovering so much life within. Poverty is a major issue in most cities however it became more apparent to me in Beijing and Xian because there were such extremes of wealthy and poor and seemed to be no middle ground which is where all of us on the trip stand. Here is an overlook on one of the greatest experiences of my lifetime with no specific times, which I'll add later. MILLY
