I really apologize about not posting too many photos on my blog. The reason I've been lacking photos is not because I despise snapping shots of my daily encounters with the friendly citizens of Beijing, but it is because I left my camera in Chicago...at home...on top of my bedroom dresser. What a great place to leave it, right? Well, thanks to Adam I've had the chance to photograph many of the things I've wanted while here. I've been too cheap to purchase my own camera because most cameras in China are the same price they'd be in the US, and I figure since I already own one, why purchase another? I'm just going to stop being cheap and get one soon. And by soon, I mean tomorrow or Wednesday because we have our mid-program field trip this weekend. I'm going to Luoyang, which is revered as the most intense (and the best) place to learn martial arts. Anyone heard of the Shaoline Temple? Yes. It's near (or in) Luoyang.
Anyway, here are a few pictures I'm going to steal from Adam. For the next couple weeks, I will have my own new camera, so I will post pictures more often.
We sneakily snapped a photo of this cute kid playing in a World Cup playpen in Wangfujing.
Ew, the Beijing belly...speaks for itself. Lifting up the shirt in the baking heat of the Beijing sun is popular among most men here. It drives the ladies nuts. (Note: I intentionally made this picture larger. It has a larger impact on the viewer.)
Is it because President Obama is becoming a socialist? We may never know.
Subway at the Great Wall. I have yet to try Subway in Beijing. It's definitely on my to-do list!
This is the security guard I mentioned in a previous blog post. He followed us around until I spoke to him and then I asked for a picture. Hehe.
