Trip to the Forbidden City
Aug 12, 2013We visited the Forbidden City today. It was just as exhausting as yesterday’s trip, plus we were in the city so it was hotter, plus it was cloudy so it was really clammy, plus the Forbidden City is completely walled off so the air was still. Not a very pleasant experience, and I wasn’t really all that impressed with the city itself. Oh well, here are some pics.
Leading up to the forbidden city. Look at at the streets, look how clean they are. Look at the buildings. Look at the bus. Look at the girl scratching her back.

The entrance. Don’t know who that girl is or why she’s staring at the camera with that expression on her face

Water! Seriously, it was very hot inside the city, and it was a hot and clammy day besides.
