Blogging from Behind the Great Wall

Great Pic from the Great Wall

As i said the other day, me and my brother were at the Badaling section of the Great Wall in Beijing. We ended up choosing this section, mostly because we were pressed for time – but I really appreciate all the tips and feedback that some readers provided. I wish we had more time to check out those less-crowded areas.

One part of the wall was really really steep. And anyone that knows me is well aware of my dislike of inclined surfaces. So I took the opportunity to sit back and snap off a few photos for my brother to bring home as souvenirs. Here’s one of the better ones:

Leaning Tower of Jeff, on the Great Wall

You see, this one is actually an optical illusion.

He’s not really on a slant at all!

Good times… :)

  • Human-Powered Washing Machine February 9, 2010
    What do you get when you cross a treadmill with a washing machine? Give up? Something that looks a little like this, actually. A kid by the name of Zhang Jiayu from the northeastern Liaoning province thought that conventional washing machines wasted far too much electricity. He then had the bright idea of creating one that was powered by a man running on top […]

  • China Says Goodbye to Google With Cartoons February 9, 2010
    Since Google announced that they would no longer continue to censor in China, pretty much everybody has assumed that they won't be able to remain in the country. That may turn out to be the case. I'm not going to speculate too much on the issue, because there's way more than enough being said already. In the midst of all that headache, I do wa […]

  • China ice sculpture tragically made entirely from beer February 9, 2010
    The city of Harbin in northern China is widely known for it's freeze-your-snowballs-off temperatures and it's annual ice festival. Domestically, the city is also known for it's beer.

  • Best Chinese Knockoff Ever? Sony VAIC TT February 9, 2010
    There's something ingenius about taking an 'O' and making it a 'C.'  It's so subtle. So clever. It boggles the mind with possibilities: Orec cookies anyone? Maybe a little Cvaltine to wash it down?  Ok, maybe not. But that's generally the idea behind this 'Viac' 'Vaic,' a shanzhai version of the tiny Son […]
