Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square

Once we found our hostel (it was a relief after walking around an hour+ with our bags) we showered and met up with my friend Jessica Li's cousin for Beijing's finest, PeKing duck. Wow. It was SO good!


The following day I cruised around the city and toured the Forbidden City (which btw goes on and on and on...)
and Tiananmen Square. AHH words can't describe how it felt to 'walk the walk' where the 1989 protestors stood. Chills just thinking about it! As much as I hate admitting this, I couldn't stop thinking, "I can't wait to show these pictures and tell these stories to my class." DANG IT! I try so hard to dodge being a teacher (change major, refuse to buy teachery clothes,...) but sometimes I just can't help it!
