The Korean air flight is on time as usual, this time is the Boeing 777 to take us to Beijing, the flight service as usual is impeccable, the hostess and always efficient, I say, always smiling, and you take their service with humility, not arrogance.
Landed in Beijing and see the airport as you could imagine, is very large, with companies from every where.
I have even seen the company of North Korea with an old Mongolian Ilyushing the Miata.
No problem at customs, and Joseph I had done as seen in Italy.
I was now at home in China there was only 3 months earlier for the first time. We are moving from Italy arrived in 46 days time. Take a taxi that takes us to the highway up to the same hotel that I had used the last time, to a single square km tiennamen. The driver, it shows what I had said to Joseph, that there are no traffic rules in China, everyone is as they like by creating chaos. He surpasses all in the Highway cosia emergency. Joseph looks at me astonished and silent.
But I see a little pale in the face, all over him, the driver, it sometimes pulls with phlegm spitting out the window and Rutte, poor, I think, not going so well.
Make a cold dog in November, but we are moving towards the large square, Joseph said that when a carburetor, và like a train, in the sense that when it is numb hard to walk but when it is heated not stop most anyone.
The square is full of tourists, shoot photos and get a blast in the city prohibited. Joseph is very happy, He dreamed of coming here, and I have satisfied, is yes!, It must be said that in Beijing there is found only for him to look before you go to the creator wanted to see the Great Wall.
A walk trai the crumbling markets where selling all makes claim to Joseph in mind the time after the war. here in Beijing to sell everything, even the skins of dogs and gear change of a certain machine in addition to the live fish and even watermelons with zero degrees.
In a shop buying a small plastic bag sealed inside a compound that if you move on sestesso heats due all'intruglio chemical in it, as you warm your hands. Purchase a pair of watches from a euro and red gloves for cold weather, including a 3 euro. prices really low.
The next day we take a tour that brings us close to Badalin to travel one km on the Great Wall. Joseph is in seventh heaven, what is more the day is sunny. A woman with a camel and Mongolians dressed him for a couple of euros you grant to the photo on hilly four-legged. There are many tourists, and who is in China without going on the Great Wall and Xian to see the terracotta army?
In the streets the traffic of each type of medium is very high, in the bike and we were expecting enough, but not more so. however there are many bicycle paths also full of quiet electric motors and with a distance of sixty kilometers each office.
After visiting the Great Wall with the bus going to a monastery where we visit the Buddha and ceremonies that make them, I do not sincerely interested in these things, I prefer to make myself a kind of safari in Kruger Park in South Africa.
The last day, the contract price with the taxi driver to take us to the airport, but on the other asks us toll yuan for that cheat, or we left them at the tollbooth. Look at the athletes of North Korea to Ceck in their company that we watched with envy probably because we are Westerners and their prisoners. Let them leave the country for the races taking their families hostage and threatening retaliation if fleeing.
The Wind is very strong that day at the airport but the flights are not deleted, only a little tossed at the start of our Bestione Korean air route to Seoul
