Photos from my trip to China with my family

This page has the thumbnails of the photos that I took when my family and I visited China for two weeks at the end of August 1999. Click on the caption or thumbnail for a larger version of the photo. I'm not completely done with the captions, some are obviously less descriptive than usefull (e-mail me suggestions: wxw6@po.cwru.edu) but like Peggy said, it's better to put the photos without captions than to deprive everyone of the photos. I'm considering making some of these photos into Desktop Pictures/Wallpapers, if this is something you'd be interested in, let me know. So here are the 99 photos:
