Flying over the Bering Sea.

Moving food.

Apparently coffee is not as well known in China as it is in Seattle.

Whoops - pants split.

Hutong area not too far from my hotel.

Very nice lady who let me take her picture.

This guy kept waving the dog at me until I took his picture.

I'm thinking this is not a genuine copy of Windows.

In a silk shop.

The new China.

That's right - those are scorpions on a stick. And they're alive. And moving.

It's the lighter trifecta - Saddam, Bin Ladin, Audrey Hepburn.

Cooking at the night market. I have no idea what any of these things are. Nor did I eat any of them.

Some sort of slug things, grasshoppers, centipedes on a stick at the night market.

We saw this same picture over and over at restaurants. Yum?

Yup. Duck's tongue.

At the silk market.

Love this artwork at the silk market.

In front of the hotel.

This was the broadcasting booth for the 2008 Olympics.

My Aussies & me: Doug, (me), Ken.

The bird's nest.

Birds nest up close. It was very cool.

Shuilian & Xin who showed us around Beijing & took us to the Birds Nest.

Doug & Ken inside the Birds Nest.

Inside the Birds Nest.

The stadium where the swimming competition was held.

Ken & Amy.

Doug.

That's are cut up cucumber in vinegar.

In the arts district.

In the arts district.

For some reason, this surprised me.

After they shot this pic, they told me this was a girl I was kissing. Whoops. Heh.

Loved this piece.
