OK, so it is been 3 days since i got to Beijing and so far i can tell you i liked Xian better . Beijing is just too big .... Also there is a problem with Beijing , everything is under construction ... Yes i know the Olympic are on the way , but good damm 1/2 of the forbidden city was under construction tarps or close up ... Shit , hope that Shanghai will be better !... Ok, dont think i did not like Beijing, but i just hope the rest of China in not under construction !!!

I made it this morning to Beijing . But first let us talk about China and Xian . Well China is not anything like India ... In China everything is big (except the people) the roads, the building, the infrastructure ... The traffic is like the one in Montreal (Civilize and peacefully) ... And it is clean , real clean ! ... WOW ... Ok , there is also bad side to it ... One of it is that it cost more then India...

Xian was great, the people where friendly and all .... But the best part for me was the company i travel with . I spend 3 days with 2 wonderful Israelis . We visited the Terracotta Warriors and the city and finish each day eating grill meat and drinking beer in the street near the hotel. It was my best part of the day ! .

I'm going to stop writing ad go experience Beijing !!!

I made it to Lhasa 2 days agot and so far it is great. It took 6 days of jeep to get from Katmandhu to Lhasa and a 50$ bribe to get out of Nepal . To make a long story short .... When i got in to Nepal they just wave me in and i did not even gave them my passport, so when i got out (or tried to ) they did not let me because i did not have a entry stamp . So in the end i had to brib them 50$ (us) to get out ... The solution was that i was never in Nepal ... They also told me to keep my mouth shout... So that is how i ran (the goup was waiting for me on the other side) across the friendship brige and made it in to Tibet. After that it when very nice and smoothly... I suffered a bit from altitude sickness but nothing a few motrin could not fix .... For exemple at the first pass we where at 5200m and when i got out of the jeep i felt like if i was stone . I made me light headed . Now i'm on my way to Xian i will leave on the Lhasa to Begin train at 8h30. So i will not have access to the internet for the next few day.
