No excuses for shooting it in Sepia or the hat and art direction in the photo ;)

blimey! zoom in on the picture and check out the startling resemblance between the Chairman up on the wall and our man in Beijing.

Can't remember ever seeing Mao in a pirate's hat though.

Yikes Lloyd. Are you suggesting those extra pounds I piled on in the UK went to my face ;)

Having been to other countries from the former communist block the video makes me saaaaaaad.

You know that guy who had to cut off his arm with a penknife to save himself? That's what it felt like Andrea. Don't be fooled by the Sepia though. Come summer that square will feel like a brave new world. I'll film it again for you.

Its good to see you taking the time to actually experience some of the many different parts of China.

Love the police in the background. Gotta keep that square free of those crazy falun gong. Less they heal it or something. ;)

Hi Fez. I always like to remind folks that the U.S. is more unpleasant and tougher to get into than China these days. I'm also concerned that a lot of my Blogging friends from the U.S are highly reluctant to criticize the current administration. The patriot act and the department of homeland security's digital monitoring may have something to do with that though. Not that your point isn't valid my friend.

I criticize the current administration CONSTANTLY.

But... I'm up in Canada now.

So point taken. ;)
