August 16

Yes, there is a sun! It’s been a warm and humid day today. This will be a short note with just a few photos from my day around Beijing.

I’m constantly amazed at the number of Chinese tourists here. I understand that with the new economy many people are now able to afford to travel and see a lot of their own country that they could never have imagined seeing even a few years ago. I find that tourists are tourists no matter what their origin. And you know what? The local tourists buy all the same tourist junk as the rest of us!
