I have already been to the US Wayne in fact New York was my last holiday destination so I thought id try something in Asia and I had the contacts in China to help me and frankly couldn't waste this opportunity!
Well my friends dad works for the Police department (hence we were able to go to firing range) and from what I understood anything on the topic of Taiwan and Tibet is generally a topic I was advised to avoid! What I did notice however was that the Chinese people are fiercely patriotic and quite biased in their opinion of their country. In their minds they all thing that Taiwan and Tibet should be without a shadow of a doubt a part of China!
The Forbidden city is an amazing place and my friend was saying that it is so extensive that if you were to live every day of your life in a different room of the forbidden city, then you would day before you had the chance to see every room!
Photos coming right now! Sadly this is only the 2nd half of my trip at the moment, to Xian, Kunming and the holiday town Lea Jung (will check spelling). My friend Chris has the photos from Beijing and Shanghai!
