This is a hard post to right — in the physical sense. The pollution in Tianjin is worse than Beijing, and the combination of the air and the days have caught up to me. All day I have this ugly feeling of exhaustion without sleepiness.

There’s a lot to see in Tianjin during this sidetrip, so I decided to break up my Tianjin photolog into a mini series. As this series completes descriptions & such will be added to the section titles below.

• Tianjiin: A Pictorial Travelogue
• Chinese Fast Food
• Cruisin’ with the People’s Liberation Army Navy
• Heavenly Ford: City of Beauty
• Historic Tianjin
• SkyFord: City of Pollution

These entries are thematic, as opposed to the day-by-day accounts in the rest of my Beijing photos, They aren’t part of SummerBlog ’06, but are a summer (mini) series nonetheless.

Enjoy!
