Bus Ride

Okay, here it is, I am just going to post a whole bunch of pictures. This is my view out of the bus. We take two buses & a train to school. This is from the second bus #19.

Friends

These are some neighborhood friends that Delainie has made.

Lama temple

Today, we went to the Lama Temple. To tell you the truth, they had the cleanest public toilets I have ever visited. They smelled of inscence and candles.


Here Delainie and I are at the gate.



Here is one of the temple tops. Out of respect for their religion, I did not take any pictures in any of the various temple halls on the grounds.







Here is our lovely spokesmodel in front of a prayer wheel.


Here is our tourguide for the day Zhang Ping. She is a university student. She is very sweet and smart.






Here is a roof detail.


This lady was kind enough to let us take her picture with Delainie.

CCAA

We went today to find the CCAA building. Here it is!

Here you can see Delainie outside by the sign.






Building signs







If there is anyone who wants the original of some of these please contact me and I will send them to you.

Picture of the Day

Western Mountains

Here are two views of the mountains west of Beijing. It is a sunny morning. It will be very hot! These view are out of the apartment windows.

Rain

It never rains in Beijing
The girls don't they worn you
It pours.

It rained sideways today. I have never in my life been that wet in rain. We left early to avoid the crowd and to get up the road thru the rain. The bus was full. But the subway was empty. The second bus was full but we were able to sit after a few stops.

The students did better today. But, I still wonder about the relevance.
