Beijing: Australian For “Crowded”

by Anderson | 02/22/10

All of today was spent running around the city getting things done before we start our jobs. I was able to take a few decent photos and if there is one thing they highlight it is that Beijing is a city full of people. Like really, really full of people. We’ve all heard the statistics about 13 million people living here and how crowded it is, but it’s hard to really get it until you see it. There are people every where. Lines of people all pushing and shoving, especially in the subway. The subway is the definition of “seething mass.”

Anyway, hopefully these pictures will help explain. (Click on them for a bigger version.)
