Me about to take down a duck's head (and my mom says I never try anything new) at the original "Peking Duck." That was chopstick training night. It was also the night I almost got smoked by a bus (my first night in Beijing).


Screw you PETA! Look how many ducks this place has killed. Why don't you go over there and protest. :)


Fortunately, a lot of the important stuff was in English, and some of it, rather obvious.


I found it extremely funny that Tiananmen Square is actually a parking lot by night!


Am I in Russia or China? As you may have imagined, all the modern government buildings are very Stalinesque in architecture.


You've gotta love a bar that only charges $1.25 for a mixed drink.


You see a fair number of old white dudes on the dance floors of the clubs there trying to scare up some tail (it's not that hard to do there).


The view from just inside the Temple of Heaven. These next several pictures are all from the Temple.


Not for claustrophobic individuals. The stairway to the bell tower at the TOH.
