Beijing



Beijing, the Capitol of China, is a wonderful city. It is known for the Great Wall, the Forbidden Palace, and Tiananmen Square. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989
for more information on The Tiananmen square incident. Like the rest of China, it is rich in history.

The Forbidden City is the Palace for this centuries Chinese Emperors. Most impressive are the number of tourists they run through this place on a daily basis. Needless to say, these Emperors had lots of storage space.



Christy would be happy here as the only store in the palace is a Starbucks...
We had to stop for Beth.
