My overall impression is that it is SO BIG - too many people, too many cars. However, even though I'm not a big city-lover, we did have a great time. We saw a lot, walked a lot, ate a lot, shopped a little, and got our MacBook fixed at the busiest Apple Store I've ever seen.
My overall impression of Chinese people was reinforced. They are kind and patient. And, the people who are not from the city are curious about foreigners, as they likely don't see them very often. Since we spent so much time at tourist areas, this is one of many photos taken of our "foreign" kids while we were there.

Actually we ran into her friend, Maddie, while we were there!

Old and new together:
This is taken outside of Beijing, but I liked the irony of the donkey carrying the generator!
More to come about Beijing...

Speaking of the old and new, did you walk through the Hutongs behind the fancy imported car street? That was a kick...
