Day 3 - 5.27.2011 - Beijing

Today was a very, very busy day. I'm going to make tonight's post short as I am exhausted and ready for bed. In the morning I photographed the delegates at the University of International Business and Economics meeting with the Chinese professors of the University. Took some pictures of the meeting. Then had lunch at a restaurant at the base of the Great Wall (the Badaling section). Then walked about the Great Wall for a few hours and took some AMAZING photos! That's about it, so enjoy the photos.

Reflections of the tangled wires and a pedestrian sign from the bus ride to the University.

Ceramic plates from a shop outside the Great Wall. I bought my OFFICIAL Chinese Buddah from this shop :)

I owe it all to my dad! I love you dad!

Some Chinese women stopped me as I was walking and taking photos by myself. One told me I was "very beautiful and have beautiful coloring" (tattoos). The four of them wanted pictures with me, and this took about 15 minutes as only one spoke very little English. The said they "want to be American" and throw up a peace sign... Whatever made them happy :)
