The travel diaries: China - last days in Beijing

Yep, it is finally here. The photos of my last days in Beijing. What a wonderful city. There was always something to surprise you at every turn and it is a city booming with life and activities. The safest tattoo studio: Batman memorabilia everywhere, from all Batman movies. CCTV Headquarters Building Eating dumpling at 798 Art District Best place to buy "legitimate" brand items: clothes, accessories, shoes... Various crickets are fried and served. Any takers? "Friends" fans out there? This was such an awesome place. Hard to find, directions weren't very clear or visible, but it payed up in the end!

Meanwhile, enjoy this and the previous posts. XOXO, M
