Walk This Way

I miss Beijing and hearing Mandarin so much I brought a tabletop radio in Hong Kong so I can listen to some Mandarin channels at home. I already brought a mobile one.

Digital photos of just a handful of the people I encountered in Beijing. A small portion of the exisiting diversity.

(some photos have appeared in earlier posts).

Editor for Publishers Cathay, with daughter. We sat and chat via translation, cracking sunflower seeds and peanuts while her daughter played on my iPhone.


Kids kicking a feather thing outside the Bell Tower. Old skool game. Me and Caroline joined them.

US and China communicates: My friend's sister to the left- who went to the first ever rock concert in Beijing (as a Beijing native). Jamel (from Washington), the fullbright student (researching Beijing Hip Hop) who I helped shoot some footage for/with. We had beer, sunflower seeds and cigarettes till 4am. They both had a good chat in Mandarin while I heard a translated version from Jamel.
