I am feeling prolific so I'm going to roll with it and get down some thoughts about the past Sunday. We were lucky enough to have Pauline Smith from Mokoia Intermediate, who is doing a 3 month stint with AFS, come and spend the day with us. So the six of us (Myself, Rose, Judith, Donna, Pauline and Chicky) spent the day pretty much on the subway. First stop had to be the Forbidden City. It is situated right in the middle of Beijing, so the subway puts you right at the front gate. Across the road is Tiananmen Square. We were actually so excited about the Forbidden City that we didn't go and have a look there, so will have to do that another day.
The photos I took really can't do the Forbidden City justice. It's so huge. You can't be there and not feel a sense of awe and majesty. I will remember it always.
Next up we caught a bus to the Wangfujing shopping District where I did something disgusting. But that's another story.
