Here we go…

This is the first weekly instalment of my photo-a-day diary of life in Sydney, Australia.  Since jetting off from London at the end of November and stopping over in Beijing, my girlfriend and I have finally arrived in the city.  And it’s Summer in the city. We win.

Day 1: Saturday 28th November 2009

Heathrow

As expected, Heathrow T3 was pretty busy, but who cares?  Bye bye British Winter!

Day 2: Sunday 29th November 2009

Beijing Food Market

You can get it all… squid, roaches, snakes on a stick.  Smelt amazing though.

Day 3: Monday 30th November 2009

Beijing Forbidden City

Home to the Emperors of the Ming Dynasty was a huge walled city.  Don’t look at the verticals.. this photo is slightly drunk.

Day 4: Tuesday 1st December 2009

The Great Wall

Only spent an hour here, but that was enough to take it all in.  The wall isn’t as wide as I imagined… pretty long though.

Day 5: Wednesday 2nd December 2009

Moving On

Beijing Capital Airport is everything Heathrow isn’t: spacious, new and clean.

Day 6: Thursday 3rd December 2009

Summer Has Arrived

No sleep for 24 hours?  Weather like this makes it so much better

Day 7: Friday 4th December 2009

I Have An Aussie Number!

Stage one of settling into the city

More next week folks!
