In 2008 I was in Beijing, China for the paralympics (a niece was a paralympian); one day I left my camera in my hotel room. I thought really bad about it. Actually it was a good thing because the experience I had watching all the events at the stadium would have been missed because I would have been taking photos instead of truly enjoying the experience. The next day I purposely left the camera while touring the great sights in China such as walking on The Great Wall of China (riding in a small glass enclosed lift to get to one level then climbing a little more and walking to actually get to the wall, the lift goes about 700 meters, a half of mile straight up), Tiananmon Square, the Forbidden City Palace Musuem, Imperial Palace, beautiful gardens, and more. I have a TON of photos, I rarely have a chance to look at any, but I have a pretty good memory of places I've EXPERIENCED.
