Ok so here is Part 2 of Manny's China Palooza: Tiananmen Square, Beijing

Posing in front of a blurry Mao (too late in the afternoon to get the light i needed for that kind of depth of field... but appropriate as most of his memory here is somewhat blurred from truth)
Getting suspicious looks from the guards on duty
Chilling at the Front Gate: Ming Dynasty (AD 1368-1644)
Fun blog! When I went on a cross country tour of the US I took my Lady Monkey and snapped her picture on each sign that welcomed us to a new state as well as some other monuments. It's so much more fun with a soft friend!
Tales from a self-proclaimed Aussie Nomad in Shanghai.
It took me all of my first 20 years to leave Australia, finally ending up in Dili, East Timor in 2000. Since then I haven't wanted to stop traveling. Yet, as simply holidaying doesn't quite scratch the travel-bug's itch, I much prefer to live, work and play in the countries I visit. In my opinion, as insane as it can make you at times, cultural immersion is much more fulfilling than a postcard holiday.
Now I am living in Shanghai, with my better half, Philippe, and 20 million others. An artist, teacher and nomad, I embarked on this latest journey in August 2005.
And like the best journeys, its final destination is a mystery.
