Great Wall Day

The 4th day of our trip started by booting up the computer to see how everyone's football teams had done. Badgers came away with a 34-10 over a very week Western Illinois. The morning included a trip to the Great Wall. Yet another piece of China that amazes by how much time was spent to build such a thing. After walking the wall, I started to gain experience in haggling. Beck and I were after some water...they were willing to give me one for 5 RMD (less than $1) and I made sure she knew that was too high and eventually got both of our waters for 5 RMD.

A major headache settled in for much of the day as the air pollution and sun combo was killer. The pollution made me long for the chance to spend a night in Gary, Indiana.

Meals once again included tons of stuff that we weren't sure what it was. Dinner was a Beijing Duck and also included some lettuce rolls with "Duck Treasures". Not sure what that means.

My successful haggling was also put to use at a large shopping center. Found a polo shirt that they wanted to sell for 250 RMD. I said I only had 100 and after she offered the "friend" price of 200 and then 150 I finally acted like I was walking away at which point she gave it to me for 100. Lots of fun, wish they had that game in the states...
