Silk Road Trip - Day 1 - Beijing

 I got into Beijing late in the night and taxied into the hostel with my parents. It was a standard hostel – clean enough, quiet enough, and central enough. Yay! (Probably the amenities were less than with many hostels – no real restaurant that I could find. But it was near restaurants, so whatever.)

 
By our hostel was a book store with a bunch of students passed out inside. I found this vaguely hilarious for some reason.
