China, Day Thirteen: Leaving China

In the morning my dad and I decided to take a flippant ride on the Beijing subway; having had a driver for the duration of the trip meant missing out on public transport. Our assessment? It's pretty neat.

After lunch we headed back to the market to pick up some last minute shopping (read: more trinkets and gifts), after which we headed to the airport. Oddly, it felt like we had just arrived at the still-impressive Terminal 3. I think we were all happy to be leaving though.

I type this from Abu Dhabi airport, at the start of what will surely be a horrendous nine hour stopover. Urgh, what a way to spend the night; I better try to get some sleep somehow. Still, we're almost there.

    This trip sounds wonderful. Did you do it with a tour company and if so, which one? I would love to do this.

  2. Hi Saira,

    I asked the awesome Mariah Mah at http://chinamuslim.net to organise the trip for my parents and myself. Drop her a line and I'm sure she'll give you some options and feel free to contact me directly for more info.

    Have fun!
