Beijing - China

Hello from Beijing

My first priority in beijing was to apply for my russian visa. After collecting everything that i needed for my visa appliance (invitation , insurance , forms, pictures,...) I went to the russian embassy.
I applied for a 3 months business visa, because a one month tourist visa is not long enought to cross and visit russia. Actually I was not supposed to get my visa in beijing (only in paris). It s clearly noted in the consulate that you need a chinesse resident permit to apply...the girl told me it was not possible but she asked to wait. I waited for 2 hours, she asked for someone higher in the hierarchy  than her...and miracle it was accepeted.
It let me one week to visit beijing. There are construction sites everywhere in Beijing, construction workers from other inner province leave in crapy conditions. Anyway they would have to come back in their provinces for the olimpics games, they could give a bad image of china. Here we don  t hear anything about Tibet, from china everything is fine...
From beijing, i enjoy a one day trip at the great wall (Simatai section). In that day trip, We went to Ming tombs too and we had a free chinesse medecine consultation. The great wall extend over 7000 km long , but all the tourist are concentrated in 1 km.
I  went to the huge forbidden city, to factory  798, houhai area, tianmen square...beijing is really attractive.
Here I met back JJ and Mickael.
I changed my plans one time more. I don t go to mongolia...for several reasons. I don t want to stay one week more in beijing  for the mongolian visa. and second It s still cold to ride horses in april. It s still - 10 in oulan bator. I ll come back for a next trip.
So I plan to take the trans-manchurian train. that train runs along 8000 km in 7 days and 28 minutes from beijing to moscow. I m not going to do it in one shot. I plan several stops.
Before going to russia , i ve taken the opportunity to enjoy the cheap stuff of china. I went to the hair dresser, I renewed my old clothes (warm fake pull over, socks, pans,...) I bought green tea and books for the next long train trip.
Tomorow i gonna take a train to haerbin and then a train to manzhouli (city with russian border).
 A last thing to show how superstitious are the chinesse...when you choose a mobile phone, the price depends on the number, more 7 or 9 contens the phone number, more expensive is it....7 and 9 are lucky numbers of course.
see you in russia....
