(Click on the picture above to view the complete photoset of 14 pictures)I know you are probably more interested in the foods I had in Beijing, but I wanted to share some people photography I took in Beijing first.
I love shooting photos of local people when I travel–be it an old man sitting by a narrow alley in hutong, local vendors busy with their daily lives, or a dog whose home is Beijing–these are the kind of shots that would always remind me of what is real of the place I went to.

Have a great weekend!

These are nice real shots. But how come all men, no women? Only women I see are the female tourists :O

Not much of “old Beijing” left as modernisation has taken its toll. Only the old people are left.
Looking forward to your food photos.

Allan and Nigel - thanks for your comment. Yeah, I have posted my food pictures…more appetizing then people shots I am sure. ;)
Anh - will do. :)
Munted Kowhai - I brought my 2G memory card. Hehe.
Anonymous - I think most women in China are home-bound as that’s the traditional Chinese ways.
Jun - are you Penang kaki lang? Thanks for your kind comment. I am really not that great in photography, just a wannabe. Hehe.
Cynthia - I just posted my food photos, enjoy.
Tiga - women are home bound in China traditionally…hehe. Men are out and about more, I think. :P
