... exaggerated casualties) - both views reflecting the government line - he also talked frankly about his father's vile treatment during the Cultural Revolution, about the steep price of apartments (it was now possible to buy one of a habitable size, but the prices were becoming prohibitive), about his eagerness to go to the U.S. in March on one of the first-issued tourist visas. He acknowledged that, although censorship still exists, there are increasing gaps and loopholes in the system ...

... asked if we needed help,we told her "we are trying to find tiannmen square" she told us that it was 1hour in the direcrion we just came from! so off we trekked through the center of beijing getting the strangest looks from the locals.

Click on the link so you can see how interested he was in my white face. Being in the Forbidden City made all of us want to watch "The Last Emperor" again. Our guide gave quite a lively version of Chinese history, including stories about concubines. I have many pictures but I'm having trouble loading them using the hotel machine. More later!

... having seen the Wall at all, so later in the week we went again. This time though, against my most stringent warnings, to Badaling. We went on another tour, but at least we also went to the Ming Tombs which I've always wanted to see.

The mascots (for want of a better word) for the Olympics are 5 'Friendlies' one for each Olympic ring.

Needless to say we purchased a few items ...
