Looking back over many steps just climbed on China’s Great Wall. Though I am here in China on business, it was Sunday and what better way to spend it then walking and gasping along the Great Wall about 50 kilometers outside of Beijing.
Must admit, these tourists (about 99% Chinese) were in very good shape. Except for landings every 500 0r 1000 feet, it is in incline (or decline depending on direction) the entire way through the hills.
Though Beijing is chock full of cars and the attendant smog and traffic jams, the population at least up to now appears from my empirical observations to not be suffering from the obesity epidemic prevalent back home in the States.
Lets see what the relentless modernization brings in the future.
