Beijing

It was money!

My wife and I went there for a week. It was amazing.


Business class

Polar ice

My wife reading enroute. It was a 13.5 hour flight going over.

The taxi from the airport to the Saga Youth Hostel just east of the city center was about $17.

Shopping area near the hostel

Saga Youth Hostel. I highly recommend it if anyone wants to stay in Beijing on the cheap. Its in a great location.

great shots!

Absolutely amazing photo essay! I love the great wall! I have to walk it one day!

 

[Foxcow]

Thanks for the compliments folks.


I shoot with an Olympus E-520. I have three lesnes to go with it so it depends on the picture. Most of my shots are with my wide angle lens which is not my sharpest lens but does a pretty good job.

Mmm.... squiiiiiid.

We were out with a group one night and one of the girls loved calamari. But when someone else mentioned that "Oh yeah, squid is delicious!" she about gagged.
