Pictures, pictures, pictures

Here's some random pictures from throughout the first two weeks.  It takes forever to upload pictures... :P

At Qianmen, touristy place with a mixture of "traditional" looking shops and Western style shops

Rachael, Jocelyn and wo at Tian'anmen square.

Me with the olympic panda bear thing, several people got pictures with this thing, and then it tried to make us pay for it.  Oh China, always trying to rip you off........

Temple of Heaven.  We didn't actually pay to get in, so this is from outside the gate.  Lol, cheap students are we.  :)  We also took one of the pictures where you dress up like the emperor and his wife and concubines.  Don't have the picture on my camera though.......don't think I'd ever put it up here either.  (It was a really bad picture.)  Worth the 10 kuai though.

My zhongguo pengyou (Chinese friends) and Rachael and I outside this yummy restaurant.  Afterward we went to KTV (karaoke and sang for 2 hours.  My throat hurt so much!!!

 This is the ktv thing.

This was a sign inside the KTV room......unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the actually room.....I guess I was too distracted by the sign...

Oh, for those who don't know, Asian karaoke is different than American in that you get a group of friends and go into a private room and sing together, instead of to a bar full of strangers.  It's super fun.  ^^

Will post more later.  Till then, peace!!!
