I've been traveling the past week with my mom who I met in Beijing this last Wednesday. I took an overnight train from Jilin on Christmas evening. It was my first experience on a hard sleeper train and it was not bad at all. It felt a little like a big slumber party, except that I didn't know anyone and I was afraid of my bags being stolen, which did not happen.
Thus far the weather has been frigid, to say the least, and I've felt like a Popsicle, trekking through the crowded streets.
We spent 5 days in Beijing and then took a flight over to Dalian (大连). Usually, a summertime destination, but again, its located in the 0 degree Celsius and minus club, so needless to say, while the beaches looked nice, we did not join the polar bear club.
Today, my mom and I took a bus from Dalian to Dandong (丹东). We ventured out to the most eastern part of the Great Wall.
I just wanted to give a quick update and I promise to write more about our adventures and post pictures.
