Despite getting sick, the trip to China was absolutely amazing. I've posted all the pictures on my flickr, and included a few of my favorites below for fun.
The pictures are mostly correctly geocoded, and I was looking forward to overlaying our path onto a map, perhaps using Popfly, but I noticed that neither Google Maps nor Live Search seem to have China coverage. Anyone know why not, and if there's a service that does (preferably with an API)?

Smart way to keep the arrival area clear

One-way escalators... bad idea.

Spiderman.. spiderman..

Didn't think I'd see a hybrid car in China

Shepherd looking at available phone numbers. More lucky numbers == more $$$.

Everyone loves cards in China. Every store has a club card. A problem in dire need of a technological solution.

New Audi Q7. Lots of expensive cars in China -- Porsche, Lexus, Audi, BMW, ...

Good citizens kill bugs.

Capitalism is alive and well

All scaffolding in China is bamboo. Very cool sight.

Brand newly sprawling Chinese suburbia

Advertising on the baggage claim. Smart.

Grandma old computer

All foreigners staying in Beijing must report to the local police

Grandma old computer runs pirated Windows :(

Cute kitty with her 5 newborn babies!!

Found a Sizzler when my stomach couldn't take Chinese food any longer. In the menu, they define "Western" and "Grill", sort-of how we do the same for concepts from distant, foreign lands

Rooftops in the Summer Palace

Magnum bar with a Windows Live Spaces promotion!

Don't do... well, anything really.

The ridiculous Starbucks that opened in the middle of the Forbidden City.
