"No Scratching".....

Spent the week being good little-brother tour guide, doing all the key "touristy" locations in Beijing with my sis and hubby .... more words and pics to come (when i get round to it and when the mood is right).

For now, thought I'd share with everyone the few fun shots taken the last couple of days .... to cheer everyone up a little after this horrible week ...

I gotta feeling they mean "No Grafitti" when riding the Badaling Great Wall Cable Car

Pissing downwind off the Great Wall of China ........ this is what i call "ultimate freedom" ... so cool!

the grass was so lush around the sign ... something just had to be said to preserve it ....

underneath the Chinese written in English it reads "Protect the Railings"???

I have been hanging in a contradictory state-of-mind all week .... trying to keep the mood fun and exciting for my sis' visit, but in the back of my mind at the same time knowing about all the pain, misery and bereavement that is going on just 1000 miles away ....  thinking of you WENCHUAN, BEICHUAN, MIANYANG ....

LOVE YOU CHINA .....  it's gonna take yonks to get Sichuan back onto its feet properly .... so, let's not forget this .... let's all try to continue contibute what we can ....

Off to Shanghai for a few days  .... leaving for airport T3 now ...
