David goes to China

BJ and everything in it is big. Tiananmen Sq and Forbidden City no exception.
Forbidden City is impressive in scale and decor - comparable to Bangkok's temples - perhaps not quite so special or perhaps I'm getting blase. (And some of the majopr buildings were closed for renovation for Plympic crowds next year.)
Went by taxi today and found I was more relaxed walkign around - when I cycle I always seem to be in a hurry to arrive.
Set my knees free again. I've only just ralised that *everyone* wears trousers - I should have known that. Maybe in the summer...
