Second day in Beijing and we’ve visited the Temple of Heaven, one of the highlight here in Beijing. Due to jet lag we slept in quite long, then enjoyed our first real Chinese breakfast with noodle soup and went for sightseeing. But before that we met a young Chinese girl who know also knows a German game. Children can play without oral communication without any issue, thank god

What we experienced in the Tempe of Heaven were three important things. One, sightseeing with Charlotte is going really well, so that is a great thing. We found our mode of operations with her 🙂 Second, all of the known sights are crowded, like really full with tourists, but just a few foreigners as most tourist groups are Chinese visiting their capital city. And third, most important (see photo evidence), never order a Hamburger in China for your Kid and expect something you’ve seen before… Charlotte was very disappointed and decided to stick to Chinese food from now on …

After finishing the tourist part for the day we went towards the subway walking through alleys and suddenly we’re in the middle of a local market. There we found a real Nijntje-eraser, a well known rabbit from Holland and we had to take one with us of course.  That night we all slept well – Beijing is definitely a city where you get to your 10.000 steps a day.
