Bikeless in Beijing


These past two weeks work has taken me to Beijing and it looks like next week will be the same, leaving me bikeless for a few weekends and slowly falling out of shape...
Having lived in Beijing in the past, however, it's great to see old places again. While in the Haidian district for work, I did take out half an hour to visit Peking University, where I spent a few years both as a teacher and student. Mainly regarded as China's number one university, it has a unique campus with fantastic architecture.



"Beida's" West Gate



Weiminghu or "No Name Lake"





The "Russian Building", where I used to teach
