I apologize for the lack of posts this week but I was pretty busy. Trying to pack in as much sight seeing as I could (since I leave in 6 days!) and preparing for the Chinese talent show our program put on this past friday, I read a poem and sang a song (both performances had videos taken of them but I'm in the process of tracking them down and destroying them so don't expect to see them up anytime soon lol). This post is titled stuff and things cause its just a random assortment of stuff. Mainly pictures from the Forbidden City, Tian'anmen, and the Summer Palace. Pretty cool stuff. Also the olympics started yesterday. Pretty interesting to watch coverage from another country's perspective (especially China's) there was a lot of coverage of woman's rifle today (didn't know that was a sport until today) since China got the gold (and either the silver or bronze).

| Forbidden City, looked for Mulan but didn't have any luck. |
 |
| Great view of Forbidden City and all of Beijing from a local park. |

| Swagging it up in the Forbidden City. (Yes, that is a bathing suit. I ran out of clean clothes a long time ago.....) |
 |
| Chilling at Mao's Mausoleum in Tiananmen (we got there late so we couldn't see him). |
 |
| Just your casual scorpions on a stick. |
 |
| Reppin Duke at Peking University! |
 |
| Slightly questioning the worth of the marble boat at the Summer Palace. (As an aside the Empress Dowager had this built with the money set aside to build the Qing Navy) |
 |
| Summer Palace Temple. |
