Peking Opera

We went to the Peking Opera as part of our latest adventures in Beijing. The Peking Opera is one of the cultural icons of Beijing cultural realm. To be in Beijing and not go seems like a shame.




Fire! Whoah!


We saw a karaoke sign! I think we need to stop by one of these places one day. Hehe...

And we just heard about the earthquakes in Yunnan and Japan. Prayers and hope to all those involved. Beijing did not feel the tremors, but feels sad about the events all the same.

Thirteen Ming Emperors Tombs

Yesterday, our Beijing Culture Class took us to the Thirteen Ming Emperors Tombs. Well, we only had time to visit two of the tombs and the God's Road to the tombs.
We visited the Changling and Dingling. Only Dingling was fully excavated, but I think Changling, tomb of Emperor Zhudi, was the most magnificent.

Here are some pictures.

Breakfast

Breakfast seems to consist of either early morning Chinese toast, or Rice porridge, or White Buns. I wonder which one I should go for?
