Pics from China

This past week there have been 2 earthquakes in the next prefecture over that were big enough to feel in Tokyo. They were not major but they happened during the night/early morning and strong enough to wake me up. The first one during the week, both Kenn and I both woke up. Then we actually heard a picture frame in the living room fall. First one strong enough to actually knock something over. The bed shook and we could here the walls/windows creak. Friday night's tremor was similar and woke me up again. These earthquakes and the one in Peru are starting to freak me out. I really hope to not be here when a big one occurs.

Wanted to share some pics on the blog from China:

The famous Nanjing Road in Shanghai:


River view from the Bund in Shanghai:


Outside the Forbidden City:



Lots of buildings and marble inside the Forbidden City:



Imperial Garden in the Forbidden City had cool jagged rocks which were brought from the bottom of some lake or river:


The Great Wall. Since my colleague took us to a high part of the wall on the mountain, you could see other sections of it that snaked below in the distance.
