I didn't get to see "real" Beijing, just tourist areas since I was on a guided tour the entire time and had no time to wander. Taking shots of places that a million people take photos of does not interest me, so I took photos of something that does- people.
Top shot is uh, Chinese hot pot on the street. It's like $1 USD for a stick-o-stuff. Fishballs, cow intestines, whatever.
This was shot after dinner one night. We were waiting to board the bus and had some time to buy snacks. A group of girls in uniforms walked by. I have no idea what they are about. But they all had bags of fruits and were wearing way out of place slippers.
Oh, girls of Beijing. Some of them know how to dress.
Dai look los. Dudes from mainland China. They DO look different from Hong Kong folk. They're skin is darker, they eyes more "Chinese-like". Most of them are farmers.
Some of them were really happy to be in Beijing and seeing the sights. You can see it in their faces. I feel happiness and sadness at the same time when I see them. You have to understand how much harder life is in China in general. Seeing it first hand really saddens me.
The golden knobs on the giant red door represents how high class the people living there are. This one has the most possible- nine. Obvious because this was taken at the Forbidden City.
The dude in this photo is hilarious. I have another shot of him- same expression.
More soon.
