Beijing

I was in China for about 4 weeks in March. Here's a pictorial account of what happened. I was very impressed with the Chinese. They are hard-working, polite, enjoy eating good food with friends and are eager to meet new people.

En route to the office. The cabs have an automatic feminine voice that greets you with "welcome to take beijing taxi," which I can't get to stop playing in my mind!

Roast Duck is a Chiniese speciality so I made my way to a Roast Duck restaurant to see what the fuss was about.

The chef and the duckYou take the sliced duck, put plum sauce, sliced onions, and other condimens in a pancake-like wrap and gobble it down. I also had freshly squeezed pear juice with the meal
