Great Wall & Markets

So last night i had to wash my clothes in the sink... and hang dry them. I hated it. Can u send me a washer and dryer?! Im wearing a wet tanktop under my shirt and its annoying. The washer here is 90rmb which is like $12-13 our money. Which is expensive! But everything eles here is cheap. I bought two kiwi, two plums, grapes, and two banannas all for $19rmb which is almost $3 us dollars. Today is Summer Palace and markets and some other stuff! Yesturday was the great wall!!! It was very hard, sooo steep. I was sweating everywhere. But im glad i pushed myself to hike halfway of the part we went to. It was 3 1/2 miles!! one side up hill, the other down hill. When i got to the top my legs were so sore and shaky it was scary going down. I thought my legs would give in and i would roll down the great wall. 

Today was crazy market day!! I got some things that i love! The people here are phyco when they try to get u to buy there things. I was pulled into almost every store, they just grabbed me by my wrist and won't let go. It was actually scary for a lot of us. One woman got sooo mad at my friend she said she would kill her for lowering the price! I asked a lady (do shoaw shen...idk how to spell it but thats how u say it) It means "how much?" she wanted 900rmb for a D&G p coat. I got her to lower it a little but when i said "100?" she took the coat and said "are you crazy or stupid?" haha i just walked away. But it was fun and we are getting more tomorrow. So far i got 2 magnets, a 3-d great wall pic for grandpa, a navy blue winter sweater from Abercrombie and fitch, a shirt that says " I <3 beijing more than ever" (in chinese) lol and some awesome shoes that have croc bottoms. very comfy. We also went to the forbidden city this morning, but it was very foggy so pics were bad. But it was a cool thing. My feet and legs are sooo sore from always walking i need to rest for a week! I will so loose weight while i'm here. Which is good because they don't make shorts big enough for my stupid butt. :( and all i have are my cheer shorts, cuz at home thats all that fits me to. Stupid!  We have loong days, we always leave by 7am and get home around 6pm. Tomorrow is summer palace and more markets and the silk factory. My straighter doesn't work here because the volts are diff, even with a converter. So i need one of those now :( 

I'm starting to pick up more and more chinese. When i go to the stores and speak a little they go all crazy chinese talk on me and i have to say "uh, whats that in english?" and they laugh and say "i thought u knew chinese!? you are very good!" then i tell them it was just a trick and i'm learning it. They love it. So crazy how diff things are here. Babies either don't wear pants or they are crotch less pants! they can't afford diapers here. So if ur holding ur kid and he pees you just hold him out and he pees or poohs on the street! Its way gross! And heaven forbid they clean it up...lol. Crazy people. 

Thats it for now. :)
