more pics from my September ‘06 China trip

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

I still have loads and loads of pictures from my China trip but I guess I’m too busy/lazy (could these be put in one sentence?) to upload them. Anyways here’re a few pictures of the Forbidden City in Beijing. A picture of Chairman Mao Zedong is very clear at the entrance of the Forbidden City. Basically this was were royalty lived for hundreds of years and it was off limits to the general public during this time. I’ll be posting more pictures of the forbidden city soon!
Cheers!
