Photo by myself, at 34th Street and 9th Avenue, in Midtown.
Here's the typical morning rush hour - a bunch of people walking as
quickly as possible, wearing serious expressions, eyes focused on some
distance point ahead.
I call this the 'don't mess with me look'. As you can see, the
majority of guys don't wear suits to work. Business casual is more the
norm.
Likewise for women, high heels and stockings are rare. Many women wear
tights in the colder months. As the weather warms up, sandals and bare
legs are common, since it can get quite hot on the pavement.
I'm traveling back from Beijing to LA. My fiance Mark is helping me
post photos, in the meantime.

No "Sex in the city" anymore. Here people look almost the same, it depends on the neighbourhood.
I walk to work through the back streets of Streatham in London. The streets are very quiet if I leave early enough (7.30). Ten minutes later and I bump into umpteen kids-and-Dads on the way to school. New York looks so busy all the time. Is it easy to take photos there? If I did that here people would notice - I'm not sure I'd get away with it! Loving your posts from Beijing.
