Due to train schedules I delayed my wall visit until tomorrow. Instead I went to the Forbidden City and Tienanmen Square. I walked around for about 4 hours.
After about half an hour in the Forbidden City, a woman approached me, gesturing with her camera. I nodded yes and reached for her camera-which she handed to her friend, grabbed my arm and got a picture with me.
Suddenly, I was deluged by people wanting a picture with me. Some asked permission, some did not. Some put their arm in mine or on my waist. Some just stood nearby. Perhaps 40 pictures in all. A bit surreal.
Pretty tired so I went back to the hotel around 1:30. Hungry so I stopped at the bakery for a delectable braised pork roll and a mini chocolate bread.
