There are 9 million bicycles in Beijing

Welcome to Beijing.
It's cold, cold, and cold.
Or at least that's what it felt like after being in the rest of balmy China.
In my defence, it was colder in Beijing, than it was in Calgary.
Mike has this song in his itunes and it gets stuck in my head every time someone says Beijing, and what do you know, it was stuck in my head while I was in Beijing, there it was. Song by Katie Melua.
Anyway, after our all night train ride, we arrived, dropped our stuff off at the hostel, and then headed over to the Forbidden City.
Huge, beautiful, and so excessive. :)
Plus the sun coming through the smog gave the photos a really interesting effect.








There we go! 







It seriously goes on forever, and we were really lucky to go during the off season because for Chinese standards, it was quite empty.
