A few last things I learned about China
1. Dust is a type of weather here. Beijing is near the desert, so when the wind changes we get dust storms! The sky turns yellow and it gets really smoggy and dusty. How strange.
2. Things are really cheap! We spent on average $10 a night for a hotel, and you could get ice-cream for 12 cents.
3. Anything less than 6 months expired is good to eat
4. Pushing and shoving are perfectly acceptable and not considered rude. On buses, people pack in literally until no more people will physically fit. In markets people just shove by each other. I guess in a country with 1.3 billion people, a little pushing is necessary.
I'm back home and safe!
Love,
Laura
