wereGreat Wall of China

So its a fairly self explainitory blogpost, well kinda
So...today i went to the great wall (of china oviously) so that was epicly awsome. All the tv series and infinite documentories do it justice and then there is the fun of just wondering around. Well as much wondering as you can do on a wall. but yea...it was huge, and steep, like reaaaaaaaaaly steep. so we took a cable car up and went left and at the end there was a huge stair case, like 500 stairs all uneven and at a 45-50 degree angle, it wasnt particularly fun. though that was probobly our fault as being boys, at the base of the stairs, we looked up and were like, yea we can run up this, we can do it...clearly we failed...hard...not the hottest idea we've had. None the less it was an epicly awsome experience, the views were good and the weather was good (about as little wind as you can get that high up). Also, after the mega climb and walk back, we went right taking more photos and other fun epic cool stuff until we reached the end. Now to get down there are a few ways, you could walk (not a particularly good idea) there was the open cable car if you wanted to freeze, the closed one for softies...or you could just tobbogin down. So clearly Jus and I...walked down... just kidding oviously we tobbogined down, it was really good, actually i didnt slow down as much as i should thus was rewarded by a fliping of the toboggin, fortunately i managed to get it back together and keep going. Fun none the less.

Also over the weekend went out to the dirt markets (thats the local name for it, normal people just call it the antique market). This was a much better market than any other we've been to, because it has plenty of awsome kul things. however, the kulest of all things was that there were multiple (MULTIPLE) WEAPONS STALLS. they were awsome, like there was this mad claw glove with spikes on the back (iv got photos with me wearing one) and there were plenty of swords, axes, knives, halberds funky 3-in-1 weapons (think a handle with an axe head coming of one side, sword coming of the top and spear on the bottum) also a few maces, armor, also there was one stall with a kuni pouch and kuni in it (for those who dont know what that is its a throwing knife pouch with throwing knives in it, think of that pouch the blind girl in house of flying daggers used) so that was fairly awsome.

Food wise there hasnt been too much interesting happening, but there has been one good find is this pancake like thing that is cheap and sold from street stalls and stuff which is a staple breakfast or lunch food called jien bing (i think that the spelling) anyway its a massive crepe with egg spred on it to hold it together, then a paste like thing is spread on it (like vegimite im told, but it tastes better cos i hate veg usualy) sometimes the sprinkle a bit of chillie then some coriander and cucumber that have been choped up are dumped on top, to finish a fried piece of dough or something fried and tastey is put on top, the pancake folded up and served hot and ready to eat (all normally for less than 1 au$). so yea...we've had some mexican stuff when going out, nothing out of the ordinary really, aaaaaand finaly another kind of kul thing is that you can buy premade crispy duck (the ones that you use with the pancakes) from supermarkets around the area. so yea. Good stuff.
Otherwise..... thats it for now
