Hardcore visiting before the finish line!

This is typical of me... always leaving the best till the very last minute!

Since the "old invaders" arrived I went to Yonghegong (Lama Temple), Hongqiao Market as well as some other places to practice my bargaining skills, also Sydney, the Olympic sites, 798 Art District, the Great Wall at Badaling (again!), Changling Ming Tombs, the Forbidden City and TianAnMen Square. FYI I absolutely loved Sydney!!! Since I'm very very lazy, I will leave you with some pictures to look at instead of me chattering away...

Images are stronger than words and also time saving :D

My folks acting French in Beijing!

If I get one last boost of energy before my flight on Monday, I might post again but this is very likely to be my last post... we'll see! Hope you've enjoyed this blog!

So nice pictures! It never rains in Beijing? Don't forget to bring us a lot of souvenirs: the weirder the better!
