Outside the Chaotian Gong- the former Ming Palace. I would have liked to share with you pictures from the inside as well but we didn't want to pay the entrance fee so we just hung out.
Market area near the temple
I love chinese kids!
how i miss thee (not necessarily starbuckies but coffee in general)
For anyone wondering, that string across my chest is my passport holder. Yay, for wearing it everywhere and having a large bulge on my stomach or back!
Outside the presidential palace. I bet the inside would have been nice but yet again, we weren't digging the entrance fee. For the sake of everyone who looks at these pics, I will attempt to be less cheap in Beijing so the pictures will be better. If you would like to help in this effort, you can send your donations (cash, check, or travelers cheques) to the "Chinese Entrance Fees are depleting Chelsea's bank account" fund. Please email me if you would like more details.
The Nanjing Metro, there was only one line in the entire city that ran north to south but I enjoyed the ride to the train station
You may be asking yourself, how are all of these Chinese people reaching the handrails when they are so short? Well my friends, the bars are lowered to the point where even my midgit self can reach them. Yes, I love this country!
Because we were early for the train, I decided to wander around the lake that was right outside the station. It had just stopped raining and it turned out to be a lovely and relaxing stroll.
Everywhere I have gone, there is always some random christmas decorations up. I am sure there is a lot of cultural significance behind them....
