green carpets

I came across this place one Saturday afternoon as I was wandering around Beijing. It is an old hutong district that is being torn down. After poking around for an hour someone actually invited me into their home and asked me to take pictures. Thats when the magic started and I found all sorts of wonders. They offered me lunch too but I was just gettign over a stomach flu and sadly wasn't up to mystery meat sausage and noodles.
