I haven't had a chance to properly thank all of you for the great tips on Beijing...so thank you!! I had a GREAT trip and am now trying to figure out how I can move to Asia...seriously...I loved it that much.

I think my favorite thing was spending several hours in the Temple of Heaven park taking pictures and people-watching...it was an awesome experience.

If you want to see some of the pics I took on my trip, I've got them online. (I still don't have my Maui pics up yet, so even though the album says it includes Maui, it's just Beijing, Hong Kong, and my Narita layover right now, and I still have to flesh out my captions and descriptions. But who knows how long that will take me?!)

Thanks again...I love this site!! I'll be posting an official trip report to include hotel reviews, etc. when I've fully recovered.
