Beijing Baby!

Caturday, My Life, Photography, Travel Add comments

No Caturday this week.  Tommy’s sulking about the very poor (2 comments) response last week.

It’s a long weekend here in China, no, not for Easter but Qing Ming (tomb sweeping festival) and the three blogamigos are off to “The Jing” in search of some fresh blog material and a few beers.  Well, ok, mainly for the beers.  And when I say mainly I mean “only”.

I took the above picture in May 2005 when I was still living in Beijing, on my way to work, while stuck in traffic. I don’t think they have these old buses / trams anymore.  They were all replaced by shiny new models before the Olympics about the same time they got rid of wood fire ovens and started using electric ovens to make Beijing Roast Duck.

    T – We went Sunday afternoon and all 3 of us had the full English Breakfast. Was absolutely divine! No eggs benedict. That’s not gonna be enough as it doesn’t come with ANYTHING.

    D – Thanks. Me gusta? Huh?

    Rich – Just went to the GP a few months ago. They’ve changed the calendar this year so it’s too soon for me to go again. Anyway looks like Jensen Button is the new Lewis Hamilton, winning every race these days!
