Beijing

I snapped these two photos on my walk back from my class. I am here to
keep my work visa. I am enjoying seeing a different Beijing. I am near
the Crows nest, Birds nest, and water cube. I am going to visit those
soon and will post photos. They are not terribly exciting, but it will
still be cool to see the place where Michael Phelps dominated in
swimming.

The first photo is off a man selling some sort of fruit from his cart.
I saw the horse pulling the cart earlier and then passed him on my
walk home. I had to snap a picture. Many people sell fruit on the side
of the street no matter what part of China you are in.

The next photo is of people buying Nikes in the street. It was an
interesting site. I was not suppressed, but it was interesting to see
the boxes getting passed around.

I walked over the pedestrian bridge over the highway and it was lined
with people selling socks, shoes, and other knick knacks. I will take
a picture next time because I was looking at the wares. I think I may
even buy something next time. I will have to get my haggling skills up
to par. (Wish I had Beth with me to help. She would get me the best
price. She is amazing at haggling.)

Anyways that is a small look at Beijing. There will be more tomorrow.
