Day 3


11th July 2005
Monument to the People's Heros.
Watch out for the guard!
Inside the Great Hall of the People, China's parliament building.
One of the many rooms for receiving dignitaries.
Mum waits for Hu Jin Tao (Hu?) to come on stage.
Hu does a no-show.
The parliament building from outside.
The Gate of Heavenly Peace as vewed from Tiananmen Square.
Outside BLCU's main teaching building with my Japanese friend Matsuda-san, who was about to go back to Japan.
Panda hiding behind his lunch in Beijing zoo.
We weren't sure for a long time whether this cheeky monkey was supposed to be on this island, or whether he was on the run.
We were worried for a while that the guy in the boat had been sent to capture him...
...but he just rowed around chasing ducks and retrieving litter.
Mum follows the cue of the Chinese tourists and takes a photo with the giant chicken ast the gate of the zoo.
