I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to do the pictures-plus-captions thing, so I decided to just give the pictures their own post and describe them here. Unfortunately, they're in reverse order, so the earliest one is actually the one at the bottom of the post. I'm not going to go into great detail, because I don't have very much time, but I'll at least let you know what they are. I plan to write more about the accompanying experiences later.
Here they are in chronological order:

1) Just outside the big front gate of the Forbidden City.
2) Approaching the large central building. It looks like a cloudy day, but it was actually pretty sunny. Those umbrellas are in fact parasols, which women use all the time here.
3) Flag of an HBA teacher against a backdrop of one of the bigger buildings.
4) Although this isn't a great picture, this was my favorite view. I really like all the yellow roofs.
5) Here we are in front of the yellow roofs!
6) A view of the inside of one of the buildings. We couldn't get in, so we had to squeeze our way up to the front of the mass of people, snap a quick photo, and get out.
7) Part of a garden area towards the back of the City.
8) Teachers laughing in the foreground, very serious students in the background.
9) A hutong, one of Beijing's characteristic alleyways. Thoroughly charming.
10) A very blurry view of Houhai, an area known for its nightlife.

Hope that clears things up a bit! This is just a tiny sample of my photos; I intend to put the rest up on facebook and/or Picasa at some point.
