Finally made it to China! Was very lucky with the weather - mostly sunny. Took S2 and S602 - great combination, as were the S2's 28-105 (Thanks Mahesh!) and the 20mm 2.8 Monopod made many shots possible - I'll be using it for everything from now on. Will break these down into galleries this weekend. In a nutshell - everyone who can fly should visit this amazing country. Development is gradually making things better, but is also destroying a lot of the "old China charm". Best to go there soon and enjoy the best of both worlds.
