A nice afternoon in the Temple of Heaven

Given we couldn't get to Tianjin and we were in the south of Beijing already, we all went for lunch next to the Temple of Heaven in a typical Chinese restaurant which was huge and packed but fast and very good. We ordered a selection of dishes and enjoyed a well deserved lunch.
PS: my dad even finally gave it a try to chopsticks (Joy, JHM, pictures will be sent to you directly :) others, sorry, restricted access). A bit shaky at the beginning but he'll get there. After all is you want to eat in China you have to get used to them. Otherwise you starve.
Stomach full we headed to the temple of Heaven. It was a perfect day to go there: sunny and not too warm. While my parents were visiting the inside of the temples, Alice and I waited outside and started to observe people. We spotted quite a collection of "typical Chinese" style and though we could share it with you. Have a look.
