beijing okay

一天。星期五。

One day. Friday.

The view from the hallway of my apartment complex, around 8am. It's a shockingly bright and blue day. I'm going to work.

The entrance to my complex.

Construction work outside of my complex. Workers live in this prefab construction.

Breakfast seller. This is my street, Dongzhimen nei jie, a major street that has a number of office buildings, malls and restaurants nearby.

Bicycle ramp.

Construction in the distance crossing over to Dongzhimen da jie.

A new office complex that isn't quite done. It's massive.

Drink seller.

Morning fan dancers in a small park outside the subway.

Down to the subway.

View of Yunnan province. The main entrance of Line 13 is covered with tourist ads to promote the province.

Leaving Dongzhimen station. This is the first stop of the train, so it's always empty.

This quickly changes.

睡觉了。

Fried eggs and something like a pancake.

饼。 This is a traditional kind of crepe that is both sweet and spicy. They are made on oil drums heated with coals.

The strangeness of Xi'erqi, the district where I work. I work a few buildings behind the metal wheel/circle.

下班了。
After work.

What happens when you lower the price of the subway from 3 & 5 yuan to 2 yuan for all lines. This is just to enter the platform.

Heading to Dongzhimen. If I was heading in the opposite direction, I'd be in for a long wait.

回来

Over his shoulder.
