I'm in Beijing. Went sightseeing at the Forbidden City yesterday, many photos. Journey was fine -- familiar faces on the plane, and the conference laid on a bus from the airport to the hotel. Hot, grey, sticky, crowded. More later, maybe.
I can't do the kind of long multimedia post I'd like, with the connectivity I have at the moment, but here's a sample from yesterday -- a dragon from the famous Nine Dragon Frieze in the Forbidden City.
