Prompt: Impression on Great Wall, Beijing over alkl as a city-How they deal with history, do they have pride in it, most memorable: food, funny moment, hostory, culture, what are you looking foward to in Xi'anI think that the Great Wall was really pretty and really well built becuase it was has lasted this long. I am surprised it has lasted this long because it is only held together by sticky rice, unless they have done further
reapirs on it so with newer technology so that it holds longer. Climbing up the Great Wall was much MUCH harder then I thought and I did not climb very far. But I still bought a shirt that says 'I Climbed the Great Wall'.

But I still bought a shirt that says 'I Climbed the Great Wall'.Over all I think that Beijing was interesting. Each part of the city that we visited was very different and made me think differently about the city in gerneral. The Forbidden City made me think that it was a very historical and powerful city while the markets we went to made me think that Beijing was a ve
ry cheap dirty city. But the Oylimpic buildings, the Water Cube and the Birds Nest, made me think that it was modern and open city. Taking in all these feelings and thought, Beijing is just like any bigger American city; it has it's hisorical landmarks, which refers to when the city was in it's hayday, it has the poorer areas, becuase no city is perfect, and then it has it's modern structures, which is thriving now.

I think that Beijing keeps the historical landmarks very well kept. All of the hisorical landmarks are very heavily gaurded and very prestine. They way the Chinese keep the landmarks make me think that like us they are very proud of thier history and they love it very much as well.
Most Memorable in Beijing:
- Food: The first lunch we had at the Pearl Shop. This is the best resturant becuase I think that I ate the most there and it was pretty good food.
- Funny Moment: Just the fact that the Chinese people are taking pictures of us, it shocks me because I wouldn't think that people are surprised to see Americans, but then again my country does not shelter us as much as the Chinese Government does.
- History: The Forbidden City becuase it was so pretty and more then I imagagined it could have been.
- Culture: Haing to yell 'I'm Back' in Chinese when walking back across the gate at the Tomb
In Xi'an I am most looking foward to seeing the Terra Cotta warriors because they most famous thing in Xi'an.
