Arrived in The Far East

Due to some international friends I decided to post some news in my Blog in English right now [Caro … my next Blog will be in French, maybeeee ;-)] …

After an 15 hours trip I arrived yesterday morning at about 7:30h at the Beijing Capital Airport … with a big lack of sleep. Fortunately I met a german guy working in Beijing in the plane, so I already got some important information about China first hand during the flight. Picked up by a shuttle I was transferred to my appartement, were I met my new roommate – Julia from Berlin, also spending an internship at Volkswagen. To get over the Jet lag she convinced me to join her and her mum to visit the Great Wall … together with another german Intern we first had breakfast (or lunch) in a really nice chinese restaurant, went to Mutianyu by a public bus to climb the Great Wall and had finally Diner later in town again. I think I go fine with the chinese food … at least I hope so ;-) … At night I hit the sack absoluty tired and had a wonderful first sleep in China.
Now it’s Sunday, I’m watching an NBA-match in the chinese TV and will go to discover the town for my own later. Beijing looks like a normal western city with some chinese signs and letters and lot’s of chinese people, of course …And it seems to be really big.
