Beijing Walk-About Apparently the Olympics are in China this year....... We hit the ground the day before the tour started and saw the Olympic Stadium and the Temple of Heaven. Our tour guide was amazed that we did this on our own... Just a bunch of engineers on the town... no big deal. We had Julia to keep us in line. | ||||

Beijing Acrobats
Amazing I don't know what else to say. Other than it is amazing what can be done with training from an extremely early age. It goes along with how the brain develops. Kids have way more neural connections than adults. These kids start using brain centers for coordination, balance, etc while they are still in youthful abundance before they whither away with adolescence. This keeps those brain centers active. Freaking amazing. | ||||

Beijing Tour Walkabout
Tiananmen Square & Forbidden City Impressive Indeed. We hit several landmarks in the very heart of Beijing. Saw a glimpse of Communist assimilation and the daily life in the back alleys of Beijing. Not to be negative, but I have to include this link: Tiananmen Wiki | ||||
