北京平民

Hi all,

Here's a set of random photos that I've finally had time to upload to my blog. This set is called "Beijing Common People." Enjoy.

Guy races down Guanghua Road on his bike at 5:30am. I was getting breakfast off campus this morning. I wonder why he was rushing.

Landscaper watering the grass outside the Bird's Nest. The upkeep of the stadium is still pretty good after two years.

This boy was the cutest. He was pouting because he was tired from walking so much. In the photo, he is stomping away from his parents. 小皇帝吗？很溺爱吗？

This is just one of the several photos I have with people from Beijing. She insisted on standing in the middle.

A pathway in one of the Hutong's of Beijing. In Old Beijing, this is where wealthy families lived. However, its current residents are among the poorest in Beijing.

This day was very cool and pleasant, so this guy took advantage of the free air conditioning outside. He woke up shortly after I took this photo, so I snapped it just in time.

One of the waiters at one of my favorite restaurants prepares for opening. They serve Northeast Chinese-style food.
