Beijing August 2007

We went to Beijing by train - 12 hours from Suzhou. Whilst we were in Beijing we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary, on the 7th, by taking a 4 hour hike along the Great Wall. Like Beijing, but wouldn't like to live there. There's a load of work needed ahead of the Olympics, but I guess people will be working 24/7 to get it done.

Aytun with a beer???

The day we arrived - bad air. Cool hair though...

The red rooftops are the Forbidden City
