北京 China Trip


Liz can't contain her excitement at being back in Beijing. Here she is at Qianmen (Front Gate) of Tiananmen Square.


Here on the east side of Tiananmen Square is the Museum of Chinese History/Revolution. On its front steps is a large countdown clock for time left until the 2008 Beijing Olympics.


This young guard stands watch just outside the Mao Zedong Mausoleum in Tiananmen Square. In the background is one of the revolutionary statues surrounding the mausoleum.


Linda, Hazel and Liz make a statement in an alleyway along Wangfujing Street


With Bruce Liu and the Studio Classroom Beijing office staff.

Jeffrey (left, front row) is a nice handsome 28-year old bachelor who was a great help to us while in Beijing. I have informed our Taipei office staff that he would be available to help improve cross-strait relations. :)


Liz conducts an English teaching demonstration for Beijing English teachers at the Beijing Institute of Education.


Hazel brings out a puppet during a session on using drama and fun activities for English teaching.


With some of the Beijing teachers who attended our training sessions at the Beijing Institute of Education. There were about 70 of them in all who completed the 3 day program.
