The next day we went to the Great Wall...it's pretty great. This part's all fakely restored but it's still tough not to be impressed. It's tough not to be hospitalized, frankly, while walking up the thing. You might think the haze you see in the air is, like, mist or something, but having been there and smelled it and seen the factories we drove past to get to it...well, I don't think it's mist.

This was also the only time Jennifer and I were overtly flirted with while in Beijing. As we were leaving, a boy who worked in a cafe near the bus parking lot blew us kisses from afar. We were so surprised that all we could do was smile and wave. He was cute, though.
