GPC in China: Day 2--Tiananmen Square: Today was just great! We started with a combination Chinese-style & American-style breakfast and then headed out to Tiananmen Square. We did some of the fun touristy stuff--bought Chairman Mao wristwatches, bargained for postcards, and practiced using our Chinese to buy cold Coca-colas. Of course, in Chinese, Coca-cola means, "taste good, feel happy!" Everything we ate tasted good today, and everybody was feeling pretty happy about that.
Postcards from Asia
A weblog with updates of my Asian travels and studies. I invite East West Center fellows, GPC colleagues, and other visitors to post on topics of interest in Asian studies.
