6 days and 9000kms later we arrive at Beijing railway station, bedlam!
People running and screaming everywhere. No not a terror threat but normal everyday life in downtown China. Phew what a culture shock. Still its all part of life's rich tapestry.
It must be nearly 100 degrees i don't speak any Chinese I'm fat and Ive got to find a hotel.
I leave the station and am pounced upon by cabbies all tugging at me and screaming. (you'll read the word screaming a lot from now on as it seems to be part of Asian life)
Suddenly i hear the words 'my cab is yellow' That's my man i say to myself, anyone who declares that his cab is yellow to get a fare is a wise man in my book. 'take me to a hotel' i exclaim. My cab is yellow he replies.......!
