China pics

I took fewer pictures in China than in India, and I regret that on some level, because there was just as much to photograph.  I think China was just such an enjoyable country overall that I forgot about being a tourist at times.  In India, the famous destinations were the (only) hilights, so I snapped away when they were in view.  In China, it was nice to see famous/beautiful things, but I would have been just as happy wondering around the cities.

Great mis-translation at the Three Gorges Dam.  There were definitely better ones than this, but I didn't always have my camera, unfortunately.
