Exploring Beijing

The past week has been a whirlwind, I have gone to dozens of famous places in Beijing- countless temples and myriad museums. At the risk of sounding euro-centric and blasphemous I would like to say that in my mind, Chinese temples seem to all resemble one another. Although the tour guide never fail to insist that each temple has distinct architecture. However, I do appreciate their history and cultural significance.

Additionally, I further reconnoitred the Beijing club scene. Admittedly, my friends and I only patronized bars catered toward foreigners as local bars can be quite dangerous. I have found that American students, typically inebriated, are usually demarcated by their scurrilous denouement. Conversely, sometimes Chinese patrons at bars can be slightly and aggressive (borderline pervy).
