Day 2 in Beijing

Today was my second day in China and I think I made the most of it.

This morning I went to the Forbidden City (on the subway, by myself!!!) and took tonnes of pictures. I was going to walk through a Hutong, but it started to rain and ended up meeting Sarah and going shopping. It took a few tries, and several wrong turns to meet up, but we managed and I found a Starbucks in the process.

Sarah and I shopped in the Silk Market at Jianguomenwai Dajie and I got a taste of bargaining and I think I ended up with some good deals. After being chased by many salesgirls, we finally escaped and ate dinner at a wonderful Sichuan restaurant at the Beijing Opera Theatre.

Tomorrow I am planning on heading to the Temple of Heaven and Sunday will probably be our excursion to the Great Wall.
