This Month, our Senior DTP specialist Tina Ji took a trip to Beijing China, where she is originally from. We asked her to take a few pictures of the things she did. Here are a few of the adventures she had:

Tina playing the Chinese game “Mahjong” at her brother’s house. This version of Mahjong is played with a table that automates the process. Mahjong is a game of skill, strategy and calculation. Go, Tina, Go! |

Here we have a traditional Chinese dish, Stir fry eel with pork. A little spicy, Tina warns. When something on the Menu is labeled “Sichuan style” – it means spicy. |

Tina goes for good old American fast food at a KFC in Beijing. She noted how the food was mostly the same with some local flair. The price for a bucket of chicken is nearly the same as in the U.S. |

Tina at a KTV (karaoke television) singing “old Chinese songs” she says. |

Street at the center of Beijing, at Chang'an Avenue (Eternal Peace Street) is Beijing’s most famous street, like the Champs-Élysées is to Paris. |

Just hop on the right bus number Tina says. But will it be that easy for those of us who don't speak Chinese? |

Xinhuamen, the "Gate of New China" which serves as the central headquarters of the Chinese government. It's like the "Chinese White House" Tina says. |

And last but not least, Tiananmen Gate, the gate to the Forbidden City. |
Thank you Tina for sharing your experiences with us!
