Another trip back to the great wall! Why not?
Leon, Ho, and Chris make the climb
Leon, Ho, Chris
I thought this was cute - a shadow pose
Our friends of friends that we hiked with to the 'off limits' part of the wall
Pose on the wall!
Why there is a toboggan run down the great wall of china, I have no idea. But hey, why not??
Chris sets off down the hill
Ho arrives at the bottom in style
Amazing huge lunch after the wall, arranged with Ho's knowledge and language proficiency.
Our 'band pose' back in Beijing - in the arts district
Trapped in a birdcage
Cool indoor basketball court during the evening, during the day those red pillars come down and act as an art gallery
The absolutely insane pearl market
Delicious noodle lunch after a tiring afternoon bargaining at the pearl market
Chris browsing the selection at Feifei tailor shop
Leon getting measurements done by Feifei herself
Setting up shop in the hotel bar (martinis were a must)
Leon and Chris discuss how to approach our hot-pot feast!
Chrysanthemum tea (heavy on the Chrysanthemum!)
Temple of heaven, in Beijing - filled with locals playing cards/dice
In front of the Temple of Heaven
Browsing the selection
Tempura prawns? Fried silk worms? Squid? You name it!
Couldn't resist the ice cream
The bustling (and not tourist friendly) train station where we caught our overnighter to Shanghai
Who said St. Patty's day doesn't exist in China?
The Shanghai skyline
We spend the afternoon wandering on 'The Bund'
One of the area's many mega-malls
At the observatory floor of one of the tall buildings - it had an internal window looking down to the 53rd floor where the Hyatt started. This totally reminded me of that scene in Star Wars when Luke finds out Vader is his father and jumps down that massive tunnel thing...
An amazing (and cheap!) restaurant in Shanghai tucked away in one of the parks
Leon in the bottom left - enjoying breakfast at our hostel
Does anyone know why these egg shells are left out in the sun?
Cool architecture in Beijing
Chris tries on his new suit and overcoat
The back alley to find the 'no name restaurant' in Beijing
So delicious...
The 'Ho Hai' district of Beijing - lots of restaurants, bars, live music, and general chaos
Us with our favorite person in the world, Feifei!
A feast for Chris's last night, with Katherine
