    Outside the Three Guizhou Men restaurant in one of the 4 SOHOs in Beijing...Caitlin posing with the very anatomically correct guizhou men. The food here is incredibly spicy and delicious.: by lolo, Views[433]
         		 The SOHO sign...taken while waiting for our cab home after dinner.: by lolo, Views[374]
         		 Hanging out at Browns ~ me, Marie, Alex, and Caitlin. Getting close to the end of the night here!!: by lolo, Views[410]
         		 This tea shop, just downstairs from Caitlin and Alex's place, is so cool. HUGE bins of loose tea ~ green, jasmine, chrysanthemum...the varieties are endless. They did a tea ceremony to allow me to taste some of them ~ so complex and the tea was delicious ~ i'm sure its no surprise to anyone who knows me that I bought a lot of tea here....: by lolo, Views[367]
         		 The first thing I saw when I woke up, my first morning in Beijing. This is for those of you who may feel I was exaggerating the smog here. : by lolo, Views[377]
     
    Skott and I out on the town with the rest of his friends. This is the night I wore the borrowed boots ~ saved my life!: by lolo, Views[365]
         		 Rich and Skott, late night at Lush....after a long night at Zub. Funny how food tastes SO great under these circumstances...: by lolo, Views[361]
         		 In Wudaoko ~ I think this was a mascot for an Italian restaurant or something; he was standing out front of Watsons (like a chinese Shoppers Drug Mart) and Skott insisited he take the picture. I'm wearing, of course, what has come to be known as 'the china hoodie'.: by lolo, Views[593]
         		 Out front of Tiananmen Square...the place was full of guards, photographers, and tourists.: by lolo, Views[341]
         		 My new art student 'friends' who accosted me as I wandered Tiananmen. They invited me to an art show, and then pressured me to buy. I pretended to be a starving student, too...not so far off the mark, really. But they were really sweet girls, anyways.: by lolo, Views[372]
     
    The seemingly official mode of transport in china ~ the bicycle.: by lolo, Views[339]
         		 The biggest portrait of Mao I have ever seen hangs from the Gate of Heavenly Peace, leading into the Forbidden City. This gate looks out over Tiananmen, and Mao often used this vantage point to survey troops and rallys in the Square.: by lolo, Views[327]
         		 Two guards within the Forbidden City, marching towards me.: by lolo, Views[360]
         		 An old man walking his dog outside of the forbidden city (the moat and wall are visible in the background!). You see little wee dogs like this everywhere ~ being carted around in bike baskets, shopping bags, you name it.: by lolo, Views[1103]
         		 Waiting for a fare ~ outside one of the subway stations in Beijing.: by lolo, Views[357]
     
    Out front of the theatre where we saw the Chinese Acrobats perform ~ absolutely amazing. We both felt like such clutzes as we left ~ which, of course, was worsened by my trying to use the wrong exit door, and Caitlin walking INTO the door. Nice.: by lolo, Views[392]
         		 2 for 1 gin and tonics at Zub ~ Skotty's goodbye party.: by lolo, Views[391]
         		 Me, Skotty, and Caitlin at the end of the night, after Skott's goodbye party at Zub. Such a good time!!: by lolo, Views[494]
         		 Skott lighting the coal stove, and Andrea setting up the kang.....at the Shack.: by lolo, Views[685]
         		 Lining up the shots ~ Jager and Red Bull all around. (at Skotts goodbye party at Zub): by lolo, Views[456]
     
    Me in the teashop! With my itty-bitty wee teacup and the stacks of tea I bought in front of me. : by lolo, Views[352]
         		 Again, up there. I must have taken 7million pictures.: by lolo, Views[357]
         		 Andrea and I up on the Wall ~ great big giddy smiles on our faces. The only other people we saw up there were some chinese who were camping ~ all kitted out in bright Columbia gear, their tents right up beside the Wall. What a place to wake up in the morning.: by lolo, Views[396]
         		 Again, at the Great Wall. It was cold enough to warrant the hat, but sunny enough to warrant the sunglasses ~ perfect.: by lolo, Views[399]
         		 At the Great Wall, just a short hike from the Shack. I am SO glad Andrea took me up here ~ you are literally overcome with a sort of giddy joy at being up there. Not to mention it was a perfect day ~ crisp air, a bit of snow on the ground, and not another Westerner around.: by lolo, Views[435]
     
    Oops. forgot to turn this one around. Anyways, its Andrea up on the Wall.: by lolo, Views[365]
         		 Proof of the snow on the ground. Looking at this now (after being in Songpan!) it looks like nothing, but at the time it was exciting!!: by lolo, Views[362]
         		 A place that ended up with more of my money than i'd intended...one of the many markets Caitlin took me to in Beijing! : by lolo, Views[358]
         		 all the stairways throughout most of china have these ramps, either off to one side, or right up the middle of the stairway....so you can roll your bike or suitcase (or whatever) right on up!: by lolo, Views[385]
         		 the lights on these towers change colours ~ sometimes all red, sometimes all blue...sometimes flashing....you get the idea. : by lolo, Views[345]

         		 This is also the great wall taken about four seconds before the other photo.: by homeless_harry, Views[767]
         		 Remnants of the great wall at Bandaling. Not a bad snap from a train.: by homeless_harry, Views[813]
         		 I didn't know that Springfield was in China?: by homeless_harry, Views[706]
     
    Feasting on boiled cabbage, white rice and meat and potato in gravy. No guesses for what didn't get eaten.: by homeless_harry, Views[776]
         		 China has a different width track to Mongolia and Russia so we had to change the Bogies before we could cross the border.: by homeless_harry, Views[918]
         		 Scoffing some fruit on another lovely tree lined street.: by homeless_harry, Views[800]
         		 In Tiananmen Square with our new friend steve.: by homeless_harry, Views[809]
         		 Sunrise over some structure in Tiananmen Square.: by homeless_harry, Views[813]
     
    Your hair would look pretty messy too after 16 hours of transit.: by homeless_harry, Views[726]
         		 Vegetarian extravanganza! Fake pork strips in chili sauce, Croaker(?) in sweet and sour sauce, and seven kinds of deliciousness-fake cold meat style.: by homeless_harry, Views[1315]
         		 Travelling can be pretty taxing at times.: by homeless_harry, Views[786]
         		 Trying to look like a computer geek but looking like just a geek.: by homeless_harry, Views[1292]
