36


Tiananmen Square, Wednesday late afternoon:
The vans took us here after the Summer Palace to meet up with the rest of our group. When it isn't filled with tanks and whatnot, it's a... big, open space, with big communist buildings surrounding it. For obvious Westerners like myself, it's a near constant exercise in warding off street vendors. Here's the Mao portrait on the north end; if you want a cheap book of his wisdom, there's no shortage of people selling that in the Square. Trust me.
