You only get one chance to make a first impression. They understand that well in China's capital city.
I found Beijing very well groomed; when viewed with a sense of perspective to many other cities I have visited.


Do you have 4 minutes to spare?

How wonderful to be able to experience the world like this...
I simply LOVED your video! (but...missed one dimension...my computer suffers from Alzheimers AND is deaf and silent...).

Yeah there is no such thing as social security in Asian countries and as such ,you see men well into their 70s/80s still working, mostly like this. Neat slide show, wonderful trip, well documented. Well done! Jv
