Hi!
Here's like 4 pics out of near 300 so far, and it's been a week. good thing I've got two 1 gig cards and a computer to download to. Bad thing is the slow internet.
Here's a couple pics of the streets of Beijing:
and this is quite normal:
And here I am at the great wall:
It was steep at some parts:
I will get more online while here, and a bunch when I get back.
I'm staying in the city of Chengdu, it's kindof in the middle and about the same latitude as houston, so it's warm here. It's about 10,500,000 people and the boots and bullet proof vests that american soldiers wear in iraq etc. are made here. beijing was tall apartment buildings almost as far as the eye can see and Chengdu is pretty much the same except there is constant fog and haze. I think the furthest one can see is about 10 miles (i'd estimate). But it's cool. there's a lot of poor people and a lot of medium/middle class people, and an increasing number of rich/wealthy people. I get stared at everywhere I go. I feel like a black person in montana. But I'm not intimidated because people here aren't violent and even if they did start something, I'm twice as big (and I'm not big, lol).
btw, there are quite a lot of good looking babes here. probably no pics of them though because my GF would be mad.
