Beijing

I can't really write anything about my trip to Beijing, because anything that I say will just not do it justice. It was incredible. My prediction was correct, I am head over heels for the city. Something about the spirit of the place...it's indescribable. Anyway, here are some pictures of the adventure






Above is Tiananmen Square and the entrance to the Forbidden City, featuring a tacky picture of the Chairman Mao

Did I mention that our mode of transportation on this particular blistery day was bikes? Our hostel rented out bicycles for something like $3 for the entire day. We repped Korea by sporting the animal hats the majority of the day. My polar bear was the best, no doubt. Anyway, biking around was really fun until the sun went down and I lost all feeling in my toes.




This was only part of Sunday. Much more to come!
