The weekend in pics: Beijing

Never thought I'd be back so soon, but that's what keeps life interesting, right? Last time I was here, I remember crazy nights at Houhai and Banana, as well as cold days and the Olympic Friendlies. Here are some different images from this time around...


One of the two giant stone sculptures (it's one solid piece) in the Forbidden City. Back in the day, anyone except the emperor who stepped on it would get executed!









It's an optical illusion--the Forbidden City is never this empty ;-)











It's the Starbucks. Inside the Forbidden City. No joke.












Of course, I had to get the Chairman in a pic












Grilled scorpions and other "delicacies" at the night market








Me showing off the "duck cards" that told us exactly which numbered duck we ate during our meal. We just called them Dan and Ann.
