I flew from Sydney to Kunming, with a layover in Kuala Lumpur. Spent three incredible days with two American believers who are starting a café business in China. I took China Eastern Airlines to my final destination after four months of travel to Beijing. Beijing is big and fantastic. I stayed 5 minutes from Peking University. I enjoyed visiting the Badaling Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace with company of my new Chinese friends. I also went to an underground church meeting!
I was not expecting the weather to be below freezing. I actually came off the plane in a t-shirt! I was approached by two young guys trying to sell me an “iPhone 8”. I also went inside an extravagant mall and used a squat toilet. I was extremely impressed with the degree of innovation Kunming and Beijing have, along with the massive amount of construction. China isn’t the same as I imagined before experiencing it firsthand.
