Made a quick visit to Beijing...after a lapse of more than a decade...essentially to call upon and pay my regards to a couple of very old friends...and found that the city had taken on a whole new face! Nonetheless, this shorter than short visit still allowed for taking in some of the newer Olympic sights...made one feel justifiably proud to be Chinese!!...as well as the 'must visits' to the Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City and Tien An Men...
