Day off... Tourists at last

It may not be as multi-ethnic as our group, but I think this perfectly captures China's new direction (zoom in on the new book). Actually, perhaps it better captures the rest of the world fighting to get into China. Hmm...

Just in case you have a Starbucks craving while you're busy being a tourist, have no fear - there's one in the middle of the Forbidden City. Seriously.

Another recommendation. When in China, take full advantage of the massages. You should ask around to find legit places, but at around $10 for 90 minutes, you can't beat it. This place even gave us complementary food and drink.
