Forbidden City

What a complete joke, the once beautiful city has now been turned into a tourist trap with the two main attractions being starbucks and a building site. I kid you not - its completely been destroyed by hoards of tour groups and to add to all the chaos of forbidden city they have decided to 'restore' which by chinese terms means completly making new.

The highlight of our the day includes 2 caramel mochiatos, the PSB and the bank of china ATM which is situated all inside of the city.


On the plus side we have been to some really nice temples in ghangzou which didnt jave a single white person in them and travelling in Beijing is extremly simple, their system is much like London (considering they've just copied ours) with the lovely circle line and northern line.

The strange thing about china is that everyone spits on the floor which is really unhygienic and makes me cringe.


All the food is GREAT and everyday weve been trying new stuff so ill keep you posted with the crazy antics
