I've always had a love-hate relationship with Beijing. My fellow ISBers who went to Beijing with me would argue that it weighed more heavily on the hate side, but nevertheless, it seems that I can't ever really escape the place. Next week, I'll be back in Beijing again (for work this time, and the second time in 6 months). I thought I'd dig out a pic from my old albums that I really liked from waaaay back when. Maybe this will be a start of a nice little regular "feature" on my blog ;-)
This is from a side street in a hutong off Houhai. Many of you may know this area today as the trendy lakeside party hotspot, but many moons ago, it was just a quiet Beijing neighbourhood...and that's the way I like to remember it. - Beijing, October 2001
