I know it’s a bit late. But I gotta do this sooner or later (it took me quite a while to resize the pictures). During the following 2 or 3 days, I’ll post a series of photos I took during the period that the Beijing Olympics was being held, most of which had no direct relation with the Olympics itself.
Armed security yelling at a homeless man.
Passengers sitting on the square in front of Beijing Railway Station, waiting for their train.
Girl posing on the elevator newly installed on both sides of the cross-street bridge in front of Beijing Railway Station.
Family taking pictures on the bridge. The background is Beijing Railway Station.

A smaller dog enjoying bone inside a wine shop.
No traffic on this side of the road. Hard to imagine before the games.
Stay tuned. More photos coming tomorrow.
