More Photos From China





I got the 35mm pictures back over the weekend, so here are some more photos from our trip. These were all taken in Beijing. The first is what a NICE "squatty potty" looks like in China. Essentially, its a toilet that is flat on the floor, so you "squat" to use it. Some were not this clean and some had no form around them, it was only the hole. Note the mop in the back. Most of the time, unless you were desperate, you waited for a location with an American toilet or else, held onto yourself until you got back to the hotel.
The other photos are of the Forbidden City, TianAnMen Square, and the Summer Palace. The brown rock looking things in the fourth picture are actually ancient trees at the Forbidden City. They were several thousand years old. AMAZING!
