the great-ish wall





well here it is. i finally am able to use the internet on my computer. only at work for some reason though. I will try and keep up dates and pictures flowing freely from hence forth.
so while i was in Beijing me and the croonies went to see the great wall. It was actually really sweet. it was a pain in the ass the go across. its ontop of the mountians so its not exactly flat. and the step sare pretty much made how ever the fuck they were feeling like. so one step is 6 inches the next is 3 feet. but it was awesome to see it and realize how crazy it would have been to make it that long ago. the wall was in good shape, far better than i had imagined. and it was only 45 minutes outside of Beijing. i thouhgt that it was crazy that it was in such good shape till i got to the end of the part that we were on and saw the crumbled remains that were ahead of me. so i figure its been rebuilt a time or two, but who cares. its really damn old and cool. so enjoy the pictures.

oww yeah. the best part about the wall was going down it. they dont really give a shit about any health risks here in china so to get off the mountain you ride a sled down this metal shute. it was pretty sweet, but these damn French ladies were in front of me riding at about 2 km a year. stupid frenchies. it would have been the best thing ever if it was not for the french. if i had a nickle for every time i have said that.....
