Beijing It Is...

Yesterday I purchased my ticket to Beijing for $250...what a deal, but the visa for US citizens cost $130 (ouch!).  My friend and I will be staying in Beijing for 4 nights and we'll be minutes away from The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and many other great places.  A short bus ride and we'll be at The Great Wall.  Five-star hotels are only $80-$100 per night.  It should be a fun and relatively cheap trip =)
