Look, everyone who cares knows about Beijing, and if not, look it up. So I'm just gonna do a sort of picture post here. There'll be some comment along the way. Enjoy.

When she eventually left her room, Edi visited the Great Wall of China.
 |
| I feel I should explain, Edi's really afraid of heights. So when they were like 'get into this open-air death trap that is secured only by your body weight holding down the bar', let's just say that it took buckets of courage to take this photo. |

 |
| Look how wonky these stairs are... |
 |
| You get to toboggan down! It was epic. |

Then Edi visited The Forbidden City, the seat of the Imperial family from the Ming to the last [Qing] Dynasty.

| It's Mao! |
 |
| Yes, I do know what it says. No, look it up yourself. |
And finally, the last place in Beijing anyone really cares about, Tiananmen Square.
 |
| Mao's Mausoleum - I came too late to go in :( |
 |
| Qianmen - lit. front gate - originally the front gate to the city |
 |
| Memorial to the Heroes |

I hate the way blogger arranges pictures, but sorting it out's such a pain that, as you can see, I ended up just giving up. Hope something there was of interest, other than my evident waning effort. Good day all, hope these pictures inspire you to leave your homes in mid-winter to go and visit these sites. I hear it's the land of sweat in the summer.
