Some China trip recaps...

I've been back almost two weeks, right into the thick of it at work. So I'll briefly post a few pictures. The rest of the trip was uneventful, fortunate given all that's going on in China with Tibet, the Olympics, etc. One constant is the good food at least.

My favorite side dish - huang gua. Cucumbers in a black vinegar and garlic sauce. Ask for these the next time you go to a chinese place, even if they're not on the menu.

 

The CCTV building nearing completion. I'd be very surprised if it's not finished in time for the Olympics.

Szechuan bean curd with spicy sauce. Looks gross, tastes better.

 

The gate in Dubai. The walkway on the right is for the current generation of planes. The higher one on the left is for the Airbus 380. They're way ahead of the curve over there.

 

Air traffic control in Dubai.

 

Dubai from the sky. A lot of desert.

 

A champagne cocktail and mezze, right after takeoff.

 

 

Some neat shots from the plane - pardon the blue cast.

 

As close as I'll ever need to get to this city....
