2nd day Of Beijing!

We start the day off with riding the trishaw. We got on to the trishaws and old men moved us around the vastly empty streets. Then we were expected to do some sightseeing on those trishaws. I myself was not too sure what was so enjoyable about extorting human labour.
Then we arrived at the grand Forbiddden City. Like its name impiles, commoners were banned from this city of kings untill the end of monacracy. Today it mainly used for attracting foreigners and locals alike.Of course there were too many palaces to see and Slash was busy explaning about the many rooms of the royal family. However with my usual "kiasu" complexity, I was too busy taking photos of each palace and could not give a damn to Slash and as a result I lost one-third of my camera's memory.
It was evening and we were stuck at the exit of Forbidden city as the police was trying to control the exit. We were helpless about it untill the gates open. In such a huge crowds, we were had to strap our bags as a kangaroo pourches as we were wary of thieves. Then we were once again stuck at Tiananmen Square. In front there was the big fat painting of Mao Zedong's face and marching ceromany and raising down of the China flag.

During dinner, we eat 狗不理包子(sort of pork bun). Teachers were bragging about this "great bun" but basically this bun was eaten by people with little time.

Finally as usual we went back to the hotel. Interesting day indeed and was surely look forward for the next day.

An interesting story. Winston and I invited our junior Jiasheng to play cards. We played up to 2am and Jiasheng returned to his room. Unfortunately his partner Aaron lock the room and slept. Poor Jiasheng had to sleep on a cold marble floor.
