The Great friggin Wall!!!

I woke up early and made my way down the alleys to the main street to catch a cab to my friends hotel. Everyone was up and at em super early getting their shops ready to the days activities. Very colorful place I must say.

it was only about an hour drive to the Great wall. Im telling you everything in Beijing is huge! Im not sure if it was all the dust in the air that made everything seem further away than it really was but everything just seemed to be HUGE!!!

The wall was awesome albeit a bit repetitive but I guess if we had a guide things would have seemed a bit more unique. The souvenir peddlers were super aggressive!!! It was down right scary at times...

@JustMiyabi Howdy Hirosamma! Thanks for watching my video. Its been a while since we have talked. I dont really know who she is. It was just two ladies that were staying at my friends Hotel that he invited to join us on our trip to the Great Wall. They were really nice.

@FromUnderTheRock Man, that was an awesome place. Loved Beijing to death. So very different from any asian country I've been to. I really need to go back and see more of it.

Ed, Thanks for that footage from the GREAT WALL. That view was incredible. Must have been breath taking in person. Those steps downward were also breathtaking.
