I was in Beijing with my friend and her husband during 144-hour transit, we were able to shop and visit Universal, Great Wall of China. I haven't tried Chinese cuisine before this trip, so I suffered a bit but the overall experience was okay. Food was quite cheap especially domestic ones. Housing was on the expensive side, of our budget. The Beijing metropolitan was really nice and comfy. As we were in transit we were not allowed to go outside Hebei district. But it was quite okay.

Hello everyone! I’m originally from Mongolia and have been in Japan for eight years, with the last four in Tokyo. I just finished my master’s degree and am currently job hunting here. I love traveling and have been lucky to visit a few countries during my school vacations—definitely hoping to explore more in the future! Meeting people from different places is always exciting, so I’d love to connect with fellow travelers. I live in a cozy one-room apartment, so sleeping arrangements will be on the floor. I know how pricey accommodations in Tokyo can be, so I’d love to help out fellow young travelers.
