Biffing busily about Beijing on a bike:
Explaining the journey from pictograms to ideograms to the modern and simplified Chinese characters
Where the brushes are made …
Brushes in a calligraphy shop …
Beijing Centre for the Performing Arts – again taken from a car.
Joy. 2 hours with 106 yr old Zhou Youguang deviser of pinyin. What a man. Never stopped laughing.
I think I’m in China -
did you get a memento? other than chaffed cheeks from the bike?
What a wonderfull pictures. Hope you enjoyed the bike ride

在北京有一个好时机
Is being in China like all the Zhang Yimou movies I’ve ever watched?!
Did your iTouch reset itself to Chinese?
Really enjoyed my ‘gad about’ Beijing today via your images – especially loved the one on the bike; classic shot! Cheers
When I arrived in Beijing my phone sent me a text that said “Welcome to China”…I will save that text until my phone dies. Looks like the same grey Beijing that I so enjoyed earlier this year
