More Beijing - Blogabond

Still in Beijing. I went to the Forbidden city and Jingshan park yesterady. Forbidden city was good..just a big temple complex. Then i went to the park behind it to watch the sun set, which was amazing. The smog made for a spectacular sunset, and the park had views over the forbidden city. Today I went to the temple of Heaven, and also the Pearl market. The pearl market is just a big market that sells all kinds of things, not just pearls. I bought a bunch of stuff... new shoes, a watch, and some presents.
Tonight we celebrated Chanuka. There are a couple of Israeli girls staying at my hostel and they made a chanukia. I said the blessing because i was the only one who knew it off by heart. I dropped my camera today and it broke! It was very cold and my hands were kind of stiff... oh well. I'll buy a new one tomorrow.
