Persongalleriet #632: Beijing, Day 2

But I'll start with a quick recap of how I got here. Wrote a blog about my troubles with the Scandinavian Airlines pilots' strike a couple of days ago, but that was i Swedish, so here'a a short version in English:
* About 10 hours of telephone queing, spread over 2 days,  before I could adjust my travel plan after my flight was canceled.
* A 37 hour trip incuding an overnight train journey, instead of a 17 hour trip.
* Upon arrival my suitcase was lost. Luckily I got it after 11 hours. So, that was 48+ hours in the same clothes... That shower and change of clothes was sweet!

So, day 1 was mostly tiredness and worry about the suitcase. Day 2 was something else entirely! I woke early, about 6 a.m., and went for a morning stroll. Couldn't resist some breakfast:

Chinese breakfast on the street! Mild and aromatic by themselves, but dip them in a mix of Chinese vinegar and chili paste and there's a wake-up call for ya!  :-) And as you see, I couldn't resist eating one before I took the shot.

Scene from right outside my hostel's front door!

I did three photo-walks this day. Morning, mid-day and evening.Here's a shot from the mid-day walk:

China-America.

Ice Cream with Tenderness on the Side.

Pics from the evening walk will have to wait, can't spend all day in front of the laptop!  ;-)

Be well, everybody!

Good that you finally reached your destination - and you lost your suitcase too, yuck! The breakfast looks lovely and image #2 is very special to me. What's the woman doing behind the phone? What's the kid saying? Why is the man scratching his neck? Questions but no answers. An interesting picture. Enjoy Beijing!
Regards, Bjarne

I'm glad you like #2, Bjarne! That's the one I picked out to publish on deviantart.com.
I don't have the answers to your questions, of course. But I can imagine some!
Have a nice weekend!
