So here is the last day I was in China. It is a surprisingly full day. In the morning we hit the Summer Palace which was as beautiful as ever and took many pictures of which I will subject you to some.
Here was the doll selection at one of the stores which reminded me of the doll experiments used in Brown V Board:
The polite sign in the bathrooms reminded me of what we all forget at times:
The many arched bridge which is one of my favorite sights in Beijing:
The 400+ guardians of said bridge:
Another shot of the bridge in case you did not have enough:
Yet another bridge as I was obviously feeling the structure:
Back at the office where you can see both Eastern and Western superstition:
After that we went to an art district in the North of the city that I had always been meaning to go to even whilst I lived there but just never made it to. I am regretting that now. It was one of the coolest things I have seen in Beijing. Uniquely Chinese in a lot of ways yet much more modern than going to the UNESCO sites.
A lot of the galleries were closed by the time we got there so here is a snap inside the window:
Graffiti:
The environment was pushing me to try to be more artsy:
Another closed gallery:
Another long exposure night shot:
Cheesing for the camera afterwards at dinner:
Overall this was an interesting trip. Easily the high point was art area and the food. Man do I miss the food.
