Second day in our 'second' country..

We decided the evening before to change hostels to be closer to the center of the city, yesterday we found a hostel which is right next to the forbidden city (the centre of the city), so early in the morning we took our stuff and headed to pick a cab from the street.                                                                    This Jade hostel is actually cheaper than the Poacher's Inn where we were, and this one is real clean and seems that it isn't even that old..Our second day here passed actually quite fast and we did nothing special except eat a lots.. =)

On the third day, we managed to get on sightseeing in the city.. We went for this Forbidden City which was amazing looking since it has remained the same for hundreds of years. We passed through this really nice park also.

The weather was sweet, the mood was good..

So this picture is from our hotel's upper floor, you can see little of the forbidden city just under the sun. There was a renovation going on so that's the big block in the middle..

Inside the Forbidden City was a garden with lots of different stone assemblies combined with planted trees and such..

We also went to this park outside of the Forbidden City.. Magnificient trees and the whole atmosphere around.. I felt like I really could breathe again, since this city is really a center of pollution.. Notice the gray air over the park.

This picture is taken at the gates of the Forbidden City..

Although it's really nice to see that here, it's still green everywhere =)

This was a good day, even though we walked really lots around.. But it's actually quite nice to walk, because we get to see really much of the local culture and peoples.. And also awesome looking decorations on people's porches..
