Did I tell you already that I’m having a great time in Beijing? You probably figured that one out already by just reading my blog. However, everything you've read pales against the great time I had with my sister Nele this weekend in Beijing. You see, my little sis works for a food company and needed to audit some food factories nearby Beijing. Yes, Beijing of all places. I'm a lucky man, I know. Needless to say that I was thrilled to learn that she would spend a weekend with me. So we toured the classics such as the Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, etc… but it was also totally awesome to just sit down and cherish a drink with little sis in a local Thai restaurant. Actually, little sis, is not really little. At 1.82 m and with blond hair, I had no issues spotting her in the crowd. Being tall myself (1.90 m), we were both literately sticking out the crowds. Imagine the view of the two of us together, so funny. However, with the winter approaching fast, the crowds of local and international tourists are thinning fast. It is also getting cold already in Beijing with temperatures below freezing at night. Sometimes felt we had the place (such as the Great Wall) for ourselves. I've been to the Wall serveral times now but it is never getting old. Each time, was during a different season, with different people, making each trip unique. We also had an incredible blue sky on Sunday, so we took picture after picture. Enjoy some below. I will cherish these moments forever.
