Beijing - Pictures from the Taxi

My last day in Beijing was a very busy one, so limited opportunities to take pictures. Most of these pictures were taken from the cab on the way to work. It was a very rainy, misty day, so most of the city was shrouded in fog.

The Crown Plaza lobby. Pretty.


Pictures from the taxi - I'm not sure why those buses are all clustered up.


Pictures from the taxi - If you're not paying attention this looks like a normal mini-van. Look closer, its smaller than a VW bug. There are a lot of these on the road.


This is a small motorized bike that's had a shell added to it. The back is used to transport a passenger; sort of a poor-man's taxi.


Bike's are everywhere in Beijing. This one has two wheels across the back with a small bed for carrying cargo.


Lenovo has an entire campus. This is the building from which I've been working.


At the airport - I had a snack at this small restaurant in the airport. The name of the place is Flavor Tang.


The Beijing airport is massive. This is a small temple and water garden. Look how high the ceiling of the airport is relative to the temple.


...and here's my ride home. It's a Boeing 777 with a 2-5-2 seat configuration. Not the largest plane, but not small by any means.
