Check out this nice video ‘Yangtze, The Long River’ by Nadav Kander

Some of the images remind me very much of my trip to Beijing in 08. I was blow away with the atmosphere of China. I’m sure a good portion of that atmosphere was because of the smog and dust literally in the atmosphere but it was also do to how foreign I felt there. for the first time I was the alien with people gawking at the american in their midst.

So, I have been on a traveling bender for almost all of August and now I find myself in Beijing, China until the 29th to see the Olympic Games (hopefully if I can find a ticket) and to take some pictures. Anyone have any recommendations on what to see and where to go?
