10 June 2006 * Beijing

These impressions muddle my baffled mind:

  • Dancing picture words everywhere
  • Skanky grease alleyways
  • The religion of shopping
  • Scorpions on a stick, and skewered frogs, and snakes
  • Ashamed to give an old beggar 20 Jiao
  • Loudspeaker blaring, flag-trooping tour clutches trampling Forbidden City
  • Everyone trying to sell a foreigner anything
  • Beggars with strange limbs
  • Beggars with weird skin
  • Materialism rules supreme
  • The emperor's throne is empty.
Peering and the Empty Throne of Heaven
