The Mao Mausolem... where they allegedly keep his well preserved remains on display. However, just about any Chinese will say it's fake and the real Mao is kept underground. I didn't hazard the hour long wait to get a look, plus all you get is a 2-3 second peek to review the quality of the waxwork.

I'm sure the other pic will inspire some predictable comments... Regardless, it's me and Erica, my best friend in China. We've been 'pen pals' for about a year and a half. She's working on becoming a tour guide eventually, but now works in this store selling Mongolian crafts (seven days a week, 12-hours a day) to pay the bills. She's also a Muslim, which I don't believe is all that common in Beijing. I'm wearing all the jackets because it's fekking freezing outside.

I found the best Pizza in Beijing (and possibly all of China) tonight... and it was pretty damn good. The place was located deep into a Hutong (http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/beijing/hutong/yard.htm) with no signage or anything to actually show where the heck it was.
