So I'm back in the land of limited freedom and can finally access the goat myself and upload some pictures to prove that this entire trip is not cover for a giant insurance fraud scam ....... yet.

So here's a limited selection of what I've seen so far, uploading which takes more mental effort than me pronouncing on various topics occidental and oriental in a nagging know it all voice.

These are lower res versions and just a limited selection, and am not sure how many people are reading this now so I might have some bandwith issues, so download early I guess:


This is Ci Xi, the legendary Empress Dowager's, famous marble boat at the Summer Palace outside Beijing (she embezzled the funds to build/refurbish the summer palace from the Chinese Navy, and finished it off with a marble boat as an ironic final insult. Not that long after she died & the Qing fell.
