Our last day and a half in China included shopping at the Silk Street Market, seeing a Chinese Acrobats show, and visiting the Temple of Heaven.
I found myself noticing a lot of things about China and differences between China and Korea during those last days. I found China to be a lot more laid back than Korea is. Women in China are not constantly in heels, as Korean women are, and there is more of a sense of ease in Beijing than there is in Seoul.
One of the most interesting things I noticed was kind of odd.. Chinese toddlers do not wear diapers. Instead, they wear pants with a giant slit through the crotch so they can relieve themselves wherever they are. Walking down the street it was very common to see a child squatting and we learned to avoid the puddles all over the city.
All in all, Beijing was a great experience and I am so glad I had the opportunity to go.
