Continuing my tour of Beijing

Continuing my tour of Beijing, a busy day today. Here are some of the day's pictures.

Went over to the Olympic grounds to see what we could. Security is tight, so we could not get very close. This is John and I in front of the Bird's Nest Stadium.

We walked into this battalion Olympic volunteers running by. A battalion of very handsome fit young men.




This picture is of, you guessed it, WALMART in China. Same Walmart, just a bit different. For example, this Walmart has a fresh fish market (see fish swimming), and a butcher standing in the middle of the aisles cutting short ribs, dragon fruit, a favorite, and "taste samplers" hawking... and I do mean hawking their samples, loudly with enthusiasm.
















More later,
