An Early Morning Stroll in Beijing

An early 5 AM wake up and I headed out of the Hyatt to see what I could see. The empty streets were fog shrouded and the food stalls closed up tight. I met this guard and we talked a bit he in Chinese and I in English. We came to some conclusions, trying to talk beats no communications. He wanted to pose and I wanted him to. We shared a cig as he checked out his image, he liked it. We jabbered a bit and I continued on my way. I like it here, very much!
