Jas – thanks, it’s good to be settled for a while. Yes the Starbucks has been taken out as a result of Chinese protest and I can understand why. Too bad they didn’t remove all the annoying touts that hang around.

Erica – you are welcome!

Heather – yes I made it! I also like this picture. Wished the last one turned out better, but I had to grab the shot before the monks took off.

Thanks for the ‘history lesson’ and the beautiful pictures!

“…would Mao be smiling or turning in his grave?” Good question. The answer to that I’d be curious to know.
