Time goes by...
Hi Dave...I still remember the few steps of Leslie on the Great Wall....back in November 2001...yeap...it was fun, he was cute...I went back since to Beijing few times afterwards...on day trip out of Shanghai, and few night crawls between flights...trust me, those were long days...Will bring back Leslie...and first time traveller Tiffany there in October 2013...Having been reading many blogs lately, it's kind of an hectic life, but nothing to complain about it...a busy day...is always (most of the time) a good day...

Snow in Beijing
Great to read the first of your blogs from the vault - buying hats, perusing art, translation issues - all memorable travel experiences! The Forbidden City looks fantastic in the snow, amazing pictures!
