I went to the Forbidden City today. It's pretty huge. But, I'm now officially jaded of temples, palaces and other such venues. I also went to Tiananmen Square.
Chinese officials are really a bunch of dumbasses. Because it's a huge holiday in China, they close a bunch of metro stations and national places of interest and also start controlling pedestrian traffic in ridiculous ways at certain places. What they should do instead is extend the opening hours of the places of interest and make going about easier, not harder.
Today, I noticed that many people, especially girls, pretend to take pictures of something in my general direction so as to be able to take a picture of me. I "caught" two girls doing so near the Mao Mausoleum and they then started laughing in a shy way. Then, they showed me the picture they took of me.
I'm having a hard time finding good food. I can't read Chinese and it's hard for me to tell the people what I want to eat in a way they understand. When I go in restaurant with pictures of their food, it all looks disgusting to me. I'll have to get some help from one of my contacts to get some nice food.
