How odd

I was at the Tian An Men Square when I saw this tour guide waiting for her group taking photos. I have no idea what kind of group she was with but she looks like a Chinese so I went to ask her how to get to the Forbidden city in Chinese. And the first thing she said to me " can't you speak any Spanish?"

What the hell?! I said no to her and I was so regret! I should have said " Can't you speak bloody Chinese? Do I look like I can speak Spanish ??"

Anyway I asked her how to get to forbidden city again and she answered me in Chinese.

What is wrong with these people!?

Forbidden world

I am really amazed how those people manage to build such an amazing palace thousand years ago! How much thoughts they put in? When we walked pass the forbidden city and the temple of heaven, there were so much details everywhere. On the roof. On the stone. Everything means something. I m glad that I came. I feel like I appreciate history more when I get older. Walking along the streets here, you see tall shinny business building on one side and thousand years old buildings on the other side. It's confusing but it's a very interesting feeling. Love every moment of it.
