Trip to Beijing

I went to Beijing for the first time for work in August . As you all know Beijing is hosting the 2008 Olympic Games so at the moment it is a huge contruction sight. The first day I was there the pollution was so bad, as you breathe you can feel your lungs burning. You can see a film of dirt covering the leaves of the trees, its very bad. However the next day was perfect weather and what I believe to be rare blue skies so I decided to hit the streets and explore a few of Beijing's sights

The Forbidden City
Tian'anmen Square

Wangfujing Street The most popular way to get around Beijing is on a bycycle, at least one positive thing towards saving the environment

We stayed at the Peninsula Hotel in Beijing, super fancy as you know, just wanted to share with you the picture of the TV in the bathroom, oh yes you can have a bubble bath and watch the Bold and the Beautiful (-:
