Meng's thoughts

This is my third day in Beijing China, and already I have experienced and learned some of what China has to offer. But what comes to my mind first and the clearest is the driving, foot massages, and all the shopping! I tell you, I dont think that asians were blessed with driving skills. Hardly anyone uses their turn signals, they just zoom into thier desired spot on the road and aren't very likely to stop for any cars, even pedestrians which makes it easy to have a heart attack! But our driver, Mr. Lu has kept us safe.. so far. Moving onto the foot massages, they were very nice and I would recommend anyone to go get one, especially after hiking the great wall in heels. My massager kept saying how hard my toes and feet were but that is most likely because I dance and have very strong feet. He even had to be told to massage harder, on the other hand that is quite the opposite of my mother who was two seats away from me screaming of pain even with the very gentle touch of his hands. I think that the bathrooms there were the worst of any place I had been but I would still encourage others to go get one! Annnnd not to mention, the massagers were all young men which made it just that much better. Shopping.. that was fin. I bought two cute fashionable coats and presents for others. We were shopping for approximately five hours, and they were the best well spent (literally) hours everrrr!! Bargains were amazing, although it did make me feel bad walking away with such nice things for cheap but hey, it works for me!!
