The fall break saw the four of us plus Andrea and Marlene travel to Beijing with five others from the school to see the sights. On our first full day, we visited Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Tiananmen Square is the world's largest square (thankfully as is gets so many visitors) and it was very crowded when we were there. The majority of the people we saw were native Chinese visiting their countries capital city.
The Forbidden City was the countries imperial palace for approximately 600 years and it has been magnificently restored for everyone to see. The palace is incredibly large and makes royal palaces in Europe look very small indeed.
