After trouble with a 2h delay, having to wait 5h in the airport of Beijing and booking another flight I arrived in China. I was warmly welcomed by my friend and her family and explored the city for a day.

I experienced the Chinese public transportation and dove into the food culture by having lunch at a small local restaurant filled with old men and grandma cooking.
Although it was cold the sun was out and the shades were on.
Next BANGKOK,
Super excited!
XOXO,
Sofia on the road
