Keeping up with my sightseeing marathon, I visited one of the other major attractions in China, the Forbidden City, otherwise known as The Palace Museum. This is the place where the emperors lived for a few hundred years and the country was governed. I wanted to go on a weekday, but ended up going on a Saturday since the sky was clear and blue. Some parts were crowded, but it was so big, the thousands of people there spread out and it wasn’t too bad.
At home, the family has been more demanding of my English help. I have to help until 11:30PM every night now, it seems. I wish there was at least 8 hours of quiet time in the house or room at night. But it seems they go to sleep late and get up early.
