Number One City

For a day, i got to be a Tsinghua student! I followed bei yi for her lessons and even attended Tsinghua's gala dinner held at the Number One City (第一城). 第一城 (located at the outskirts of beijing) is a replica of the ancient beijing city, complete with the palaces and gardens. The concept is cool, but there is absolutely nothing to do there. It has all the grandeur of the original piece, but beneath all that is just an empty shell. It is not a touristy sort of place, but more of a one-stop convenient location for conventions. Definitely a sight you can afford to skip!

On a totally different note, i just recently got acquainted with Picassa 3, and i am now a convert. I was just playing around with some of the functions, so please pardon my very amateur photo editing skills.
