As we walked through the Hutong Village, we saw a number of people playing a board game with large pieces. It turns out it was Xiangqi, or what is commonly called "Chinese Chess". (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangqi for more info.)
Hi Jon -- I can't believe I'm the first to comment on your very cool blog. I would have thought folks would have much to say about all your experiences. What I have to say is... AWESOME! Thanks for documenting this for everyone back home. I am following it with interest.
Everyone loves Mari's photo. What a sweetheart! And what a miracle that she is finally in your life.
