Today was a tourism day. Our only true tourist day in Beijing and it was quite the experience. We started off at the Temple of Heaven and I managed to...take a tumble on some steps.

5/14 Post
Today's trips focused on introducing us to some of China's historical land marks. This was a really great experience to compare and contrast to some European palaces that I have visited. One thing which immediately stood out at the Forbidden City was that it really was a city, not just a palace. It seemed as … Continue reading 5/14 Post

China day 1!
Today we covered a variety of significant Chinese cultural and historical topics as we explored the Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City. Our tour guide Henry spoke point-blank about everything, even the history of Tiananmen Square as we stood across the street, while punctuating his history lessons with funny unrelated, off-hand, and quote-worthy lines … Continue reading China day 1!

Beijing has already surprised me with how different it is from the other cities I have traveled to. I really enjoyed the food we had at lunch, specifically the beef and sweet n’ sour chicken. It is extremely hard to communicate, which I have never experienced anywhere else I have traveled. I think it would … Continue reading Blog #1 May 14
