It's off to Beijing!!

Aug 5 - After work we headed straight to the airport to
catch our Dragon Air flight to Beijing. It just seemed crazy to
be in this part of the world and not go see the Great Wall
& the other sights of Beijing.
Fortunately, I have friends who felt the same way and off we went!

Dragon Air counter at the Hong Kong Airport

Our hotel - The Peninsula Palace Beijing

Fast food logos from home that we all know, or so we thought...

The red & white of KFC

Colonel Sanders?

We took a stroll down Wangfujing Street
(shopping & pedestrian area)

Scary mannequins!!

Yuppy
We're pretty sure Yuppy was a combination karaoke bar & brothel.
Of course we discovered this after we were inside.
