Beijing, China, November 16 - 30, 1999

Peking Opera & Peking University:

Always my friends wanted to know what I wanted to see and do and eat.  I definitely wanted to see the Peking Opera, and got my wish and more.  A friend of my friends sent his car to pick us up, drove us to the restored (circa 1800) historic theater, arranged for a private dining room, and then treated  me to the central balcony seat.  The balcony consisted of one row of chairs with a table, tea, and treats before us.  I even had my chance at the stage, fortunately after all the other guests left.  Below is the most beautiful university campus I have ever seen: Peking University.
