The temple of Heaven was another amazing experience. The buildings are beautiful and the courtyards are filled with people exercising and socializing. Once again there was too much to see in a couple of hours but I saw all the important stuff I think.
There were a few people practicing calligraphy which was really cool and some people waltzing while others were doing choreographed aerobics. Public exercise is very popular here especially with the older generations. It is also very common to see huge groups of people practicing Tai-Chi in the parks. There was also some great musicians and actors in the park, what an amazing place to be.
Afterwards a group of us went to the counterfeit mall where I was physically pulled on by several Chinese girls wanted me to by something. Apparently they can tell I'm gullible. One girl held on so tight that I pulled her across three shops until she let go. I bought some sweet shoes from one of them finally and they're pretty awesome I think. I just wonder how people would react if the employees at Nordstrom's pulled on our arms and literally dragged you into their department.
