Here are some more pictures from my last couple weeks in Beijing. I hope you like them.

Tonight I was in a taxi with the Professor and Cowboy, and we saw everyone on the side of the street pointing and looking at the top of a building. As we passed, I saw the silhouette of a man standing on the edge of the building, indubitably considering the end of his life. These things get under my skin, and I'm fairly sure that's a good reaction.

Tomorrow I am finished with Beijing Normal University. And tomorrow night I will get on a train and go to Xi'an, which is one of the ancient capitals of China, and it's the home to the famed Terra-cotta soldiers that were discovered in the 1970's, but which date back into one of the old dynasties that ruled China. They are guards of the Emperor's tomb. Also, Xi'an has a well-endorsed (by friends) Muslim quarter, and now you know that I'm a Muslim food aficionado.
