In China Children do not wear diapers like they do at home, how convienent to be able to just squat whith out pulling down your pants and holding them up above your ankles.. its harder than some of you think.. trust me! This is a little girl enjoying her day at the Forbidden Palace!
Bronze Dragon at the Forbidden Palace. Dragons are everywhere... but I already forget what they signify!

This is a little artistic photo of one of the places in the Forbidden Palace!
I would upload more photos but it takes so long and the internet is not as fast as at home!
Good Evening,
Today we went to the forbidden palace. It was packed!! I guess it does not help that it is a Chinese holiday. The palace in itself was huge! It has 8,000 rooms and it took us a long time to get around. While impressing at the start, by the end I was a little bored. I guess I had to start putting it into retrospect of the history of it and how no one could enter the palace except the emperor and his people, and not that long ago where the Chinese people allowed to get in and see what this palace was like.
Tonight we are very tired, and it is just Sara posting this because Tyson is already in bed. We have been going hard for the last couple of days trying to fit in all the sight seeing before we leave Beijing. Tomorrow is our last full day.
We got some not so good news the other day about Tibet. Apparantly some Americans went to Everest Base camp and protested and burnt a chinese flag while holding free tibet flags in the air. This has caused all Independant travelling to be cancelled due to these protests. Which means that if Tyson and I want any hope of getting into Tibet we will have to join a tour group and it is very expensive for they have also raised the prices of that. It seems that the Chinese Government is not impressed with Westerners and they have put military and police everywhere to enusre that people are only staying in Lhasa where they can be closely watched. This will probably mean we will have to rearrange our intineary. We will know more when we get to Chengdu on Monday.
Thats all for now!! I am tired!
Lates,
