The first day

------------------------------------------
I actually made it to Beijing and at the moment I'm spending my time with my couchsurfing host Ryan in his flat. It was a great first day of my world trip. After going out until 5 in the morning I got up at 8 in order to finally pack my backpack. Maybe I should have thought about this earlier, since my flight was about to leave at 7 pm that day from Munich. But anyway I managed take my train to Munich at 12 and was at the airport on time. I was not afraid or nervous because my headache from the night before was killing all emotions efficiently. So I got on the plane, ate some ... whatever it was...., and watched the hours go by.
Then I landed in Beijing at 12 am today. This was the first time when I realised, that I had forgotten to learn Chinese on time and that my backpack is just far to heavy.
Since Ryan had to work until 6:30 pm I tried to get a locker to get rid of my backpack and make my way to the olympic stadium.
On my way I met Eljas a very nice guy, who speaks fluently English, German and Chinese- I was stunned. So we went together to the olympic garden and had a nice afternoon- Nice to have you met Eljas- thanks alot.
Then I tried to find Ryans place- should be easy with only 60 million people in the city and me not speaking a word Chinese. After asking approximately half of the population of Beijing two old ladies guided me to his place- they didn't understand a word English, we though somehow had a great conversation.
After meeting Ryan, who lives in a big flat with some very nice European flatmates we went to the city to get my backpack from the locker and eat some healthy food.

To sum it up: I did not fix a single computer, but I had a great time.
I'm really looking forward to what's about to come.

Cheers
