Today we checked out of the hotel in Beijing, but before we made it to Shanghai we visited the Tiananmen Square and the forbidden city. Wow. I was blown away. we started in the square and that was nice, however the forbidden city was much better. The entire time through the city I could not stop thinking of how much tradition and how many aspects of China I just had no idea of. The nine gates in and out of the city all representing something very special to the chinese people is just an example. Each room having a special use and organized in a special way with all of the traditions taken into account. It was incredible and it showed how detail oriented the chinese are and how they can and will build everything they see fit. I learned a lot of chinese tradition and history than I could have ever learned in a classroom or a book and I so greatful to be here.
