Beijing in Pictures I

Do you ever get the feeling you're being watched (Tian'anmen)


Why I put on 2kg in one week (Wangfujing food market).


And I thought Rembrandts ran a tight ship (somewhere just East of Tian'anmen Square)...


The city moat makes for a very welcome escape from the chaos (north of the city)...


100 metres back in space, 50 years back in time ...


To enter the forbidden city without invitation once cost you your life. Now it costs 60 Yuan (and an extra 40 for a dodgy audio guide) ...


.. and oh what treasures lay waiting within...

Looks like a good trip, Macca! Sorry you missed out on the conference dinner...I tend to avoid those, particularly when I am ALWAYS at a conference alone AND it is not included in my rego fee, which work pays for. I do, however, try to schmooze throughout the conference in general :)
