An old flying buddy of mine came to China and, when taken to the GW said, "I thought it would be bigger. It's good, it's really good, but it ain't great." I laughed my ass off, but the Chinese student we had with us didn't.

By the way, must be an old photo. I didn't know Wild Bill made it to China.

Not Wild Bill, just an escaped lunatic with his hair down.

I don't know if it's urban myth, but what the hell.
They say that when President Nixon visited China on his 1972 trip he was taken, not too surprisingly, to the Great Wall. He gazed around at it for a few minutes and then said, "It sure is a great wall."

I didn't know Nixon was that clever. Only goes to show.

Deary deary me, another aging ex-hippy.
Someone pass around the jug of homebrew. I'm feeling homesick.

I KNOW THAT MAN!
Well, at least he looks like someone I know.
EL, what part of GW did you visit? Jinlington and Simatai won't look THAT small to you. Especially those steps that were probably made for giants: I am tall but hell I had to use hands to climb them up!

Cheekygal, Look closely at my shadow behind my left shoulder in pic#2, and the transition between the larger white stones at the foundation and the grey stones forming most of the wall itself. I'm not sitting in front of the wall using forced perspective or sitting on the steps. I'm leaning on the face of the wall.

I resemble that remark, Loops. I was just thinking myself, why are thirty-something gordo punks attracted to China?
