I went completely out of turn and forgot to post about my first day in Beijing. My humble apologies my faithful readers. Anyways, our first day in Beijing the group (being Ivy, our Chinese friend and quasi-guide, Andy, Darin, and myself) was dead set on seeing as much of Beijing as possible in the fastest amount of time. So having gotten a decent amount of sleep on the train up, we started with a Daddy-o, the Forbidden City. It was fun-as you can tell from the pictures-shuffling along like zombies, slowly pushing our way into the palace. Everyone (ourselves included) would only stop to take a picture, only to take another one at an exciting new angle just a few feet further ahead. But when we finally got to the entrance the cost was too great and time too precious for us to spend time inside. So we turned around and shuffled out, saving the opportunity for perhaps another less crowded and time demanding occasion. I guess it was a little too forbidden for us. Wow, what a lame pun.
