Going through narrow alleys in the rickshaw. We survived!


Our last day in Beijing was a “free day,” meaning that we were allowed to do whatever we wanted. A number of us in the tour group decided to go on a optional tour of the Hutong area, visit an elementary school and visit/talk with a Mr. Wu to get some insight as to how the Chinese live. We also went to a tea house where people in my tour group kept insisting that the woman serving us tea was trying to flirt with me. I doubted that. :)

This is the Drum Tower in Hutong.

A kindergarten class with some cute kids singing.

More talented musicians!

We got to check out the home of a retired anthropologist named Mr. Wu. This is his bedroom.

Due to the large number of photos, only the first 6 are shown. View photo album or slideshow.
