We made a special trip to the Beijing National Theatre to take some sunset photos. The sunset was a little disappointing but I did take some photos to try out with HDR, I haven’t bought a copy yet which means I get the watermark

This Chinese girl came up to me and asked in good english, “can you take my photo” I couldn’t work out how to use her grandmothers cellphone, so while HY looked at it’s chinese menus I took this photo. Turns out she had been learning english since she was very young and her english is definitely far superior to my chinese and she was there to listen to a concert.

One thing I wasn’t really expecting in Beijing was the amount of neon signs and the number of TV’s, you see all round the city they have them on the streets and in the buses and trams, and in the metro stations.
