Greetings from Beijing!!!

[Catty1]

Denise! People watching is just the best! I hope your home in the UK is all right...I just cannot believe all the flooding!

I look forward to hearing about your favourite person and place and all that!

What a surprise to hear from you already! Are you going to check in every day?

So long as you don't wash the building dust off, no-one will know it is not a tan once you get back home.

Wow, a direct link with Bjing!! I am so happy to see you posting from the other side of the earth . Hey, watching people is something I love to: sitting on a bench and look at all the people walking by

I knew you were going to see lots of building everywhere. We went to Athens 1 year before they were hosting the Olympics; road works EVERYWHERE, and lots of building too. Even our hotel was renovating all their rooms .

Seen any cute cats or dogs, Denise??

Big hug for you :

Have only seen one dog and it was a Bichon.....very cute, you would have liked her Fritzie

Had an eventful day - first taxi driver took us to a building site which wasn't that helpful ended up at the camera place where we wanted to go but was starting to get very confusing...............

So........we went to Beijing Zoo.................I'd heard nothing but bad about it so was expecting to be very angry and upset but have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The reptiles get a tough deal IMO but the pandas, tigers, monkeys,etc, etc all seem to live better than the people do round here. I will post some photos on my return to UK......

What needs to change at the Zoo is the education of the visitors - a gibbon charging at the cage is not "cute" she is protecting her young so stop tapping on the glass front!!!!!!

This place makes London look lazy....more later my friends xxxx

Ni Hao! The traffic really is something to behold over there, isn't it? We only did one cab ride--most of the time, we were in our big tour buses, but wow...

Just got back from a fantastic meal - getting pretty nifty with the old chopsticks - get to eat more than ends up on the floor at any rate

Met lots of lovely doggies this evening too - a peke, a chi, a jrt and two mini samoyeds....all very friendly so I am a happy PTer

So it is true that the traffic there is super-hectic!! 13 years ago wewent to South Korea, to Seoul, and it was impossible there to cross a street!
