Waiting at the Worker's Stadium for the bus ride out.
The guy on the right is wearing a Kukuxumusu t-shirt from Spain. Those are rare, unusual, and totally awesome.
Since Beijing has been roasting for some time now, people didn't think to bring much in the way of clothing. It was actually a bit chillier at the sea.
"I am totally a pimp, yes"
Can you spot the lady-boy?
Man, I -love- 'fros. They are totally awesome.
It is very important to wear extremely high heels at the beach.
Nope, not a lot of Chinese kids here. Maybe 20%.
But plenty of French kids.
More Frenchies.
The burned out hull of the CCTV tower that caught fire at Spring Festival isn't looking so good.
Hey, there's a huge amusement park with roller coasters and crap here in the 'jing!!
The first rest stop. Copious purchasing of beer and potato chips.
Note to 21 year old kids: When you're barely half way into a loooong bus ride, drinking multiple cans of beer is not a good idea.
I think Marin want's to kill me. Or eat me. I can't tell if that's angry or hungry.
Me with Idriss's hat. And cool sunglasses, of course.
There were all these fish farms along the way. I never realised they'd just be in the middle of fields. I had always assumed they'd be near huge lakes or something.
Arrive-ed and milling about aimlessly.
This huge army of buses would wait here until well into the morning. The drivers basically just got to sit around and sleep.
It's a real beach full of Chinese people.
It's cool, because you have modern China (big-looking shipyard and grain elevator) to the north, and ancient China (Great Wall) to the south.
Pony rides!
Honestly, the beaches were much cleaner than I thought they'd be. Almost on par with something I'd see in Italy.
And there we have the wall, folks. It's great.
And hordes of people having a good day in the sand.
Me taking a photo of Arnaud taking a photo of us.
Haha, this black girl was a HUGE hit with the locals. They all wanted to have a photo taken with her. She appears to be quite used to it.
Once the lights went, it got a bit harder to photograph stuff with my crappy point-and-shoot and no tripod.
I.e.... If you look hard and squint a lot, there's a girl in a bikini there.
Not the best video taking in complete darkness .... 
Gorgeous night with the moon and everything. It started to pour, which freaked everybody out and then ... stopped after like 2 minutes.
Okay, without a tripod, really hard to get a good stable photo in the poor light !! This is probably the best ....
A brief summary of the music: nnnts nnnts nnnts nnnts nnnts nnnts nnnts. So glorious.
Some excitement on the ride back home. This is on the 4th Ring Road in Beijing. Of course, it's a Jinbei car .....
