got an early start, around 8:00am... it was good but really didn't
seem to make much of a difference in the crowds, haha.
When we got there it was just quite amazing.. I really... there aren't
any words to describe it. You see the front (w/ the portrait of Mao)
in pictures all the time, but it's really nothing like being there. I
don't want to talk too much about the Forbidden City because it's
really better illustrated in pictures (which I guess are STILL not
working on my blog, I will have to update with pictures when I return
to the US).
After the Forbidden City we went to a mall called Joy City and had
some yummy Taiwanese food, and then came back to the dorms to nap. We
were going to go back out to Sanlitun tonight but it's currently
thundering and lightning and even if we were able to get a taxi it
probably wouldn't be the best idea to venture out into this storm
right now. Tomorrow we're going to a touristy market so I can pick up
presents for everyone at home. A week from tomorrow I will be packing
up to leave Beijing! I can't even believe it. :(
