The Residence and The Return






















The cryptic sounding title of this month's blog refers to my home in Shenyang and my trip back to Beijing. You can see by the pics that the apartment is very bright and colourful (the heritage left by the previous tennant). I am slowly re-arranging it and getting settled. I am very happy at home and at work currently, such a peace and feeling of contentment here. My apartment is only a 5 minute walk to work and only one flight up, the other residents are older folk, families and some students.





















The return trip toBeijing was a chance to do a spot of shopping and get a look around the Olympic sights. I had just over 24 hours there, it was a great little getaway. The train trip only takes 4 hours from here, and it's not too expensive. The interior shot is of Shenyang train station while the exterior shot of the train station is at Beijing. Cheers till next time!

Looks that way doesn't it? It was actually taken from inside the train through the window. You know how I love to take photos out of bus, taxi, train, etc windows!!

Lol I mean the running track inside the Olympic stadium. I should have clarified ;o)

Ah, oops! Yeah you can wander around bits and pieces of the stadium. The part they let you walk on is actually covered up and then they have the barrier between you and actual track. Take a look on Facebook for more pics, which possibly show it better.
