The Great Wall

I've walked on the Great Wall of China. Really, really amazing. Climbing up the Great Wall ranks as one of the more tiring things I've ever done. Sure there's stairs in places, and the rest is just a slope, but damn was it difficult to get anywhere on the Great Wall. The stairs are steep---like 70 degrees or so steep! After climbing for about 45 minutes, we reached the top of one particularly high tower and lo and behold...a souvenir shop....and a friggin' camel. Yes, a camel. You could climb on and get your picture taken on him for about 10 yuan (but could probably haggle down to about 6 or 7 yuan if you tried).
