Pictures are coming in irregularly now, and in batches, so it's hard to pinpoint a day.

Here's some more from the Cat's Eye (courtesy of Helen, the Queen of Pizza)

  One could probably write many PhD thesis just doing an analysis of this graffiti.
  In fact, this would be a great place to do field work for a social science thesis on the culture of Chinese youth as seen through graffiti, because you could just order a pizza any time you wanted.
  From Justin: "We ate at an outdoor food
place that we found. it works pretty much like a restaurant except you order at stands... Brian and I had a mishap with the
ordering and we ended up with 56 chicken wings (we thought it seemed more expensive than what we wanted and we realized what we did about 2 minutes later) but we finished all of those along with two pieces of corn and a box of vegetables, too."
  My guess is that the order for "5 to 6" chicken wings came out as "56."
   
   
   
  No wonder it took until the evening to finish.
  July 21 - not the first time that Justin and Tiffany ended up with matching outfits
  Dinner with Jing Guo, a friend of Tiffany's brother, who just moved to Beijing.
  Cheers.

  A rare appearance from Justin, who is usually behind the camera. Heading to lunch with Brian's faculty mentor, Professor Zhang.

  Lunch with Professor Zhang.
  Lots of lunch, actually.
  Views of Beijing on the way back from lunch.
  Lots of new construction, everywhere.
  And some not so subtle contrasts.
