Beijing Photos & Videos

New pictures uploaded from my Beijing trip. Will add descriptions and names later.

Uploaded YouTube Video:



Nothing too exciting - A Thunder/Lightning storm out my window. All the exciting stuff happened before I started filming though.



This is a new park that Stoerm and I walked through. It will lead you to Tian'amen Square / The Forbidden City. There are these people that will walk with you being all friendly (as you'll hear) and will eventually try to get you to go do something or see something, in this case a museum, so it's like a scam.



Walking through Tian'anmen Square. This was before it started raining.



We rode a Mamu from somewhere in Beijing to a hutong to this small Beijing Duck (Beijing kaoya) restaurant. It was really scary since we rode in the little section in the back.



A Beijing Duck being carved. It's like an art form. It was pretty tasty too!




The restaurant where we ate the duck ((Beijing kaoya))




The DUCKS!



The guy carving the duck (Beijing kaoya)



How we got there! This is a Mamu (spelling?). We rode in that tiny back part just so you know. Scary!

Loved the pictures. The ride looks hairy to say the least. The restaurant is one of those places that if you were in Mexico or the U.S. that you probably would not go into, but sometimes they are the best. I hope you had a great time? It won't be long till you have to decide what you are going to do for the rest of your life. College? It would be good for you. You should talk to Stoerm about the possiblities.
Take care and we send our love,
Linda
