The Forbidden City

The Forbidden City is the former residence of the emperors of China. They built the city with one less room than what a "God" would have. They considered the emperors one step away from being gods. The city is beautiful. Not all the rooms are accessible by the public. They have weapons, musical instruments and clothing on display in some of the rooms. All of it was just so amazing.

A quick side note: remember that humiliating experience I had at the UT/Baylor game? (scroll down a few posts if you don't) Well... I feel a little better now thank you. Right after I took the above picture... a group of college aged boys asked to take a picture with me! They don't see that many Americans over there... I guess. Josh actually got rock star attention from the Chinese people. Not too many blonde haired blue eyed kids over there.
