So I had a week off the week before last, as the students’ were all doing mid-terms. I didn’t travel anywhere, so I took the opportunity to visit places in Beijing, including the Great Wall. It was a little hazy on the day I went….

I managed to make it to the end, all 12 guard posts. It was a killer, I have to say. Knackering! But apparently, that makes me a hero now, completing all 12. It was tiring but worth the visit. And another thing I can cross off my list of things to do in Beijing/China!

I also visited several museums in Beijing, during that week, notably the Police Museum, the Capital Museum and the Railway Museum.
