More of Beijing

GUess what this is? Its a fire extinguisher!!! Really! THey used to fill this up with water cos fires are a rather common occurence there. So what happens in winter? Ask me!!!



When someone says, I Climbed the Great Wall of China. Ask them. For how long did you climb and how far? This part is damn steep. I wonder how my Grandmother managed this??! We went to a touristy pass, the Badaling area. For thrill seekers try Mutianyu or some where else. (do your own research!)








Da Dong Roast Duck. Voted the best Beijing Roasted Duck in That's Beijing Magazine. But it's sucks. ITs like eating cardboard, dry and some parts, hard. ITs supposed to be s superlean duck. Not in my recipe books! A roast duck is supposed to be fragrant, skin crisp, some oil but not overdripping with it. IT came with lots of unnecessary stuff.



Unnecessary Stuff the Da Dong Duck came with.





The Last Emperor Playing Tennis


Donganmen Street Food Market



Beijing Subway System. Pretty Crazy if you cant read Chinese Words. In English? Mabbie during the Olympics in 2008. Dream on!
