Woke up early. Visited the Buddhist Temple of Lama in Beijing. It really was a wonderful place. Unfortunately, pictures inside the temples are prohibited. We saw the biggest buddha in the world. Really inspiring. After that we went to the Great Wall. It’s really a great place to visit. Like my sister said “I had a great walk on the Great Wall”. You can either go by cable car or on foot to the top. We went by foot. It’s really exhausting when the temperature exceeds 40° C.
After that we went back to town. And met a friend of mine. She showed us some kind of huge store where you can buy a lot of fake stuff (clothes, technology, shoes …)

We found some copies of the new iPhone 4 and the iPad. The copies are looking like the original ones but aren’t working like expected. I asked a spanish man who bought 5 copies of the iPhone 3Gs why did he buy those. He answered me that he hadn’t enough money to buy iPhones and that they wezre quite looking like the iPhone.
For the iPad I was impressed. The system is Android and it’s running smoothly. You can use USB memory because it has a USB port.
For the prices, you can buy a fake iPhone for 40€ and a fake iPad for 80€.
Another reason why Chinese people buy this is because the iPhone 4 isn’t released in China. And the iPad isn’t even announced.
I’ll be covering the opening of the Apple Store next week in Pudong, Shanghai.
See you there.
After that we had a great luck together eating the Peking Duck wich is vey good.
See you !
