Christmas in Beijing II

I went out to take a few pictures on Wangfujing street this evening. There were a lot of decorations here, also.

One thing that jumps out at me on this picture is that watches must be big business. I count 3 billboards in this picture.







I've got to say that the budget seems to be a little lower than at Oriental Plaza.

The crowds were definitely down from what you usually see. Maybe the 18 deg F temperature had something to do with it.

I used a tripod for these pictures to try and get them as sharp as possible.

Here is a shot of Snack Street. Apparently, indoor restaurants draw away customers as the temperature drops.

Here is a shot of the decorations in the lobby of our apartment complex.

The integration of Christmas into Chinese culture isn't 100%. I went out to find wrapping paper for Margot's gift today and couldn't find any. I'm not sure where to find it. I'll try googling it.
