So long ago now

by colombian18 - last update: Jul 22, 2006

beijing...very nice,impressed

Beijing is an ancient city. Beijing itself, is a very nice city with many touristical places, I stayed in an apartment with my cousin and his chinese friend. Visit the peking duck place, the most famous one...it is apparently the best in the world for peking duck--....i wish...food like that was more easily available. Might go bk for the olympics,it definetly will not dissapoint

The Great Wall

What I remember most was this poor old chinese woman collecting plastic bottles and climbing down steep stairs which i nervously went down.I gave her abit of money,partly because of guilt and her age. Amazing achievement.
The Great Wall...cant remember what part though

The Great Wall again

This is a good shot of the wall.
