My family and I made this trip in April 2010. My memory, excellent and usually dependable as it is, is also at times, a hazy, inaccurate, sentimental thing. Please treat this travelogue-comic as such-- a recollection of a trip made more that 3 years ago. Do not go "but she said so on pg 19!", especially to someone who actually lives in Beijing. That may not bode well for both of us.
We did take a LOT of photos, though. So all these pages were put together based on them.
