Photos, Photos + More Photos

The remainder of the gang, in the No Name Bar. Im obviously happier here than the others (Or so I thought, Meredith and Chris!), as Im getting to go home shortly.

My Dad, Hilary and I at the Forbidden Palace. Gives a good view of the colours that you see everywhere in China. That photo could arguably be taken in any one of the thousands upon thousands of the temples in China.

The Birds Nest. If you don't recognise it now, you soon will. The main Olympic Stadium in Beijing, ready for the 2008 Games. Its as close as you could get at the time we went, but you can still see the design - made like that so to trap the warmth within the stadium apparently!


This is the beach in Beidahei. Reviews on the internet warned us of dirty beaches, the filthy sea and general untidy nature of the place. Well im not sure where they went. We found it absolutely spotless, nice sandy beaches and a great change from the sweltering heat of central Beijing. Admittedly, when we went it was mildly windy and the sea was absolutely freezing. But you can't have anything can you?

Taken on the wall (again, I know), this time we went to somewhere that begins with M, I cant remember the name I do apologise. I shall look it up. Anyhow, slightly more touristy than the first time I went, but still less than the last time I visited. Amazing weather and a toboggan ride to the bottom gave the day that extra gloss!

And finally, a picture that I really like. This is the skyline of the Financial Disctrict in Beijing where we stayed for the last few nights. On the very last night, after a few drinks, we walked back to the hotel. It was perfectly calm, wondrously warm and was, all in all, a splendid way to finish off my time in China.
