Back from Beijing
Random snapshots while I recover from a week of trudging from one site to another.
Fried scorpions! Not.
Fat cat in a houtong.
The Condom People. L-R: Edna Abong and Lucien Dy Tioco of the Philippine Star, our director Pepe Diokno.
Ooh la la.
The antique market. Where being duped is part of the experience. I found a Victorian brass mariner’s telescope that may be overpriced and fake but I like it.
Sleeping cat at a gallery at 789.
And of course we looked at maps. Ancient maps. Lots of ancient maps.
