Arrival in Beijing, Day 1, Part 1 - 3/30/12

Checked in at the Regent in a huge room with a great view of the city.

Early morning pickup for a tour, shared with two obnoxious women from California, a nice family from the Philippines, a friendly man from Egypt, and a couple from Singapore, that included a General who claimed that tons of military equipment is stored underground in Singapore, and the Jews are training everyone re its use. Whew... moving on.

First up was the Forbidden City, with a very minor reference to Tiananmen Square as we passed by, and we hardly knew we were there.
