China Pics

Here are some choice pictures from the trip to China. Enjoy.



One of hundreds of buildings in the Forbidden City, the former private residence of Chinese emperors. The Forbidden City is roughly the size of Rhode Island. Huuuuge.


Big Brother Mao.


Tiananmen Square. Apparenly there are plain-clothed spies among the thousands of tourists ready to nip any protest in the bud.


Monument to the Peoples Heroes.


Downtown Pudong, the business district of Shanghai. With their nonexistant labor laws, and their two billion residents, the Chinese are able to throw up skyscrapers in a few months. 15 years ago this was all farmland.
