Photo by myself, in Beijing, China.
A woman rode a bike down a narrow side street in Beijing.
Behind her
are tall, modern apartment towers.
The contrast of old and new are striking here, depending on what part
of the city you're in.
This part of Beijing has dozens of modern
office and apartment buildings. Many of the stores are westernized and
very expensive.
Meanwhile, only a small street or two harken back to previous times.
A view from the 28th floor in Beijing. All the buildings in this
area look to have been constructed at the same time.
Some of the office towers have only been built within the last
year. There are many still under construction
All my plans to post via email were
quickly dashed. Not only is blogger banned, one cannot even email a
post to blogger, so my fiance Mark is taking precious time out of his
busy day to post for me.
Posts will continue here, with some pre-scheduled posts of New York City.

That's what I had to do while I was there, too. Fortunately I'd talked to a fellow blogger about me emailing posts to her. We found a way to get around the firewall at some point but it was still so slow it made more sense to email her.
Looking forward to more of your photos! Have fun!
c'est magnifique, de superbe paysage
These are great! Thank you Kitty. Thanks Mark.
Wow! Another great trip Kitty! I hope you enjoy every moment.
Great photos, Kitty!
Sounds you have been having a great time. Enjoy!
Great you found a way to post anyway. I like the picture of the biking lady, this looks at least a bit chinese. I see the high skyscrapers have reached Beijing too. The cities will look the same as in the Western world in a few decades I am afraid.
