China in September 2008

As most of you know I went to China in September 2008 for a very special reason. A reason I won't talk about on the blog. It was an amazing experience and it was great to see China - which I never thought I would get to see. Enjoy!

We were there right after the Olympics, so it was still semi-decorated. The 2nd photo is the infamous bird's nest where the opening/closing ceremonies and things took place.

The Forbidden City

The Great Wall of China

The Stone Forest in Kunming

Even China has a Wal-Mart!

A boat made completely of marble! Don't ask me how it floats! For that matter, don't ask me how any boat floats!

An Academy of some sort.
