Graham and I took a walk this afternoon and decided to head to the north end of the Olympic
Green where it runs into Olympic Forest Park. It's the largest park in Beijing and was created for the Olympics (read: people were displaced to create it). It's very large. We walked about 1/3 of the way in, around a lake and islands and up a hill, from where we discovered a pretty swell view of the Olympic Green.
On the way there, a family asked us to pose for a photo with them. Not quite sure why -- maybe they thought we were athletes they could go back and look up online. Imagine their disappointment! We had a good chuckle about it, though, and wondered if we ought to see if we could play that angle to our advantage for the remainder of the trip.
