Beijing Impressions 2

Looking back at these pictures now it makes me realise how beautiful Beijing is. At the time I didn't appreciate it fully. I was a bit irritated by the constant spitting and rudeness of the Chinese. Noreen found it funny, in fact she loved it, and although I had heard about it, I must have been so shocked on the first day there that this didn't really leave me until we left the city the second time. Now I wish I could go back and spend more time there. Certainly I'd do more shopping!


I love these ladies!

The parking spots for the antique market.

On the antique market.

They had tons of stalls selling posters. I really had to restrain myself not getting loads of stuff. In the end I got a paint brush which I still have to use! It's one of those lovely ones with real hair and for writing those beautiful characters. Not that I will use it for that... ;)
