That bike park could easily just be Cambridge station by the way.
If we're on the topic of pics from China, here's a random few of mine:
The biggest Buddah in the world since the Americans bombed the bigger one in Afghanistan:

That's not what the guide in China said, but then again he may have had a biased view of things.

Wikipedia says you're right though:
"Then Taliban Ambassador-at-large, Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, said that the destruction of the statues was carried out by the Head Council of Scholars after a single Swedish monuments expert proposed to restore the statues' heads. Hashimi is reported as saying: "When the Afghani head council asked them to provide the money to feed the children instead of fixing the statues, they refused and said, 'No, the money is just for the statues, not for the children'. Herein, they made the decision to destroy the statues" [7]."

Yes, there was an outcry about it at the time. Offers made by the West to have them somehow taken out of Afghanistan if their existence was so offensive etc.

No, I was there on a geography trip. Missed Bloc Party by a day... not that I could've gone anyway! |

The bike park is actually in Amsterdam.
Golden Glory, you're messing up some quality photo's by having that blasted date imprinted on there.
