Day 8 The Great Wall

early start, chens mum managed to get us a driver to take us to the great wall of china, her friend is very high up in goverment i think. it took about 1hour to get to the wall, it was much higher than i expected we walked for a while along it taking in the beautifull views. after spending around an hour on the wall we headed back down. one thing that surprised me is or the first time it was cool in china, very refreshing.

chen rang our driver and he came and picked us up and took us back to chens.
when we got back, after persuading chen who was very tired we went to a electrical hypermarket near by so I could get a USB lead for my mobile phone so i could upload photos online. I got the lead although the internet is so slow I only managed to upload a few pics.
when we got back from the hyper market we got ready to go out for a meal with chens family and friends. the restaurant was very impressive, the biggest restaurant I have ever seen, even bigger than aakash in clek mmmmmmmmmmmmm aakash..... anyway again we had a private room and our own waitress. they ordered so much food and the guy next to me "the father of one of chens childhood friends" kept taking food off the middle of the table and putting it on my plate and sayig "try this very nice yes" most of it i didn’t like as it was seafood but I didn’t want to be rude so I ate it anyway. before the meal I was asked to introduce my self and say a bit about myself and all of chens friends did the same. Everyone was very friendly and funny. It was a good night.
