Anyone still reading this or is it time to stop?

Great Wall carpark. Where are all the people? I sat under a tree in the middle of the carpark and read on my Kindle.

Boy, did my calves know about it the following day. Turns out the wall was a failure, keeping out neither the Mongols or the Manchus. Note the stunning weather my brother and his wife bring with them wherever they go.

The Supermarket check-out staff are getting younger every day. I bet this boy will be an accountant by the time he's 20. ( it's OK, his mum was on hand to help, and allowed me to take the photo.)

What's with these light poles? Is it decoration,Braille or code?

What young Beijingians do on the Subway. I am a Subway expert and can change lines. Actually it's easy as there are dual signs, Mandarin / English. There was a single mum with a tiny bub walking the corridors with a begging bag. I noticed people putting money in.

Me and my 'bro Don, hangin' out.

Off to X'ian on the high speed train tomorrow. May be eaten by Terracotta Warriors or Giant Pandas and never heard of again.
