Trying to figure out our first "Hot Pot" meal without being able to communicate with our waitress. They bring various raw meats and vegetables which you then cook in these hot pots of broth right at the table and then dip in a delicious sauce. Very good but tricky with chopsticks.

The staff there must love it...you pay them, but you still cook your own meal! all they have to do is cut up a couple of things, and then laugh at you trying to work out what to do.

Rachel got talked into putting this stuff on for a picture. I think that it's similar to what an empress or concubine would wear during imperial reign.

Walking through the entrance to the forbidden city which is a huge area in the center of Beijing where the emperors lived. It was opened to the public in 1920 prior to which the penalty for trespassing was death.
