Scenes from the Park

It's a Saturday morning in Beijing and I went to the Temple of Heaven.  It's a place revered by the Chinese and historically,  this is where the emperor prayed to the gods for a good harvest.

The amazing thing about parks in China is that the people actually use them for activities that we probably will never see back in the states: individual & group singing,  people playing cards,  tai-chi,  yoga, dancing and other activities.

Here are videos that I took with my cellphone this morning:

Hi Angie.

I'm heading home tomorrow. I've been very busy these past 3 weeks. Should I return to Beijing in the next few months, I'm not sure but I might be able to squeeze in a weekend there.
