Snowing in Beijing!
OK, it was cold enough over the last few days, but got a bit of a shock when we walked out the front door of the hostel this morning to find it was snowing! Pretty amazing sight. But it is terribly cold (especially coming from 35 degrees in Melbourne just a few days ago!). Glad I packed the thermals!
Checked out the Forbidden City this morning with our new Intrepid buddies - it really is an incredbile (and, like everything else in Beijing, massive) place - such beautiful buildings, vast courtyards and gorgeous gardens, made all the more spectacular being covered in snow. And to make the visit even better, our guide was Roger Moore (well, at least a recording of 007 as he explained the sights and the history of the place!) - very cool.
Just taking a rest this afternoon, and gearing up for a Kung Fu/Acrobatics show tonight. One more day in Beijing, before we head to the great wall on Thursday. Still loving Beijing, but can't wait to get out and see more of China.
