China: Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and Olympic Park

CAM00640To start off the morning we ate breakfast at 8:30 which consisted of fried rice, fried dough, red bean bun, eggs, stir fry veggies, and fruit. After a debriefing of the day’s plans we set off for our first ride on Beijing’s subway. It was very clean, but very crowded.  When we arrived at the Forbidden City, we had a scavanger hunt.  We explored the city to answer a variety of questions, from the history of the city to asking  people wearing hats for pictures.  After the Forbidden City we went to eat lunch at the “Screaming” Duck Restuarant. We went to the Olympic Park afterwards.
