Day 3 Forbidden Fun "what a neat blog title"

A couple of us went to a little bakery near the hostel for breakfast. After that we walled to the Jingshan Park and the Forbidden City. The Jingshan Park was full of local people dancing, singing, playing instruments, exercising and just hanging around. The park is like a back yard for the people. The Forbidden was huge; I wish we have more time. I don’t see must likely 2/3 of the things to see in the Forbidden City.
Exiting the Forbidden City you walk right in to Tian’anmen square. Tian’anmen square is very large with my government buildings around it. I was neat to be in Tain’anmen square after seeing it on the TV and learning about it. We did a little group project and we got a crowd of people around us. One of the police came and got people to move along. The security was pretty tiet, lots of police around.
We ended the night at a tea house near tian’anmen square. At the tea house we saw a traditional performance. It was fun. We saw a guy spine a large pot on his head and there was a lot of singing and playing of instruments.
