Eastbound: 1 Man, No Plan

Beijing Ancient Observatory, featuring astronomical instruments once crafted by flemish Verbiest!


Acrobacy in Beijing - it looks strange, but these are humans!

More acrobacy: Talloorkes-draaien

Well, where would you guess this would be, if I may ask?
Just a rather unexpected (at least for me) display in the Natural History Museum.

I’m not sure whether it’s a he or a she.

A common sight in Beijing: Olympics in, hutongs out!
(De iets dorstiger medemens ontwaart een hemels dranklogo op de achtergrond… En een verborgen boom.)

Eagle Kite flying over Tian An Men.
In case you didn’t know: the Chinese love playing with kites, and they’re really good at it too! (the guy with the kite actually made it “pose” for my pic!)

My first characters in Chinese: “entrance” (at the back) and “exit”!

Tian Tan (Temple of Heaven) with the sun peeking through the smog.

Well… if you kick this stone in the south part of Tian Tan Park, the sound should be amplified…
…unless there’s a group of over-excited “look, a white guy!” chinese around you, that is…

Momentary feeble-of-mindness in the Xi’an Great Mosque…
(Yes, it’s a pose…)

My state of mind seemed to catch on quickly with Angie when she discovered me trying to “steal” her pic of Zoe…
