Wangfujing and 798 Art District

This weekend we went back to Wangfujing and the street market. I still didn't try any scorpions, and this time I didn't put any pictures up of them either - so rest assured!
Saturday morning we went to the 789 Art District, Beijing's artist's village I suppose. Its mostly modern art. It was a neat little village with shops and cafes and studios - all of it was renovated factories which was interesting to see.

Sad.




Billboards for the Olympics.


Beijing, 798


These type of statues were everywhere!
I didn't really appreciate this...


These were my favorites.


I took this picture after Sarah and I had walked through the tunnel AND slid down the slide at the end. It was full of tv monitors as you can see... oh modern art...



A big, red fist?



Chinese grafitti? It says "very..." and I don't know the last two characters.
Communism!
I hope these videos work!!!

Lamb.. what?

Wangfujing Street!!!

"Hello! Free!"

The night market people are all crazy!
