Eleanor, as I told you yesterday in our all-too-brief phone conversation, I skipped class today to go to Tian'anmen Square and the Forbidden City (definitely not worth the 60 kuai I payed and the four liters of water I sweated out, sadly; but the day was worth the hour I slept in. Also, spell check is telling me that 'sweated' is not a word; I must further look in to this). And instead of scurrying back to campus, we joined Jenn for a last hurrah (she is leaving the country tomorrow) by going to the Silk Market after lunch in Wangfujin.
And there, my friend, we saw a Joe Lieberman-look-alike. We stalked him throughout Silk Alley, as he was surrounded by government-looking-cohorts, and none of us was brave enough to approach and ask him to verify our suspicions. Instead, I returned back to Beida, only to read this which PROVES that he is IN CHINA. And I have pictures, awkwardly taken over Jenn's shoulder, that place him within our proximity.
Most random place you will ever meet an American congressman? In the Silk Market in Beijing as you skip class and look around for t-shirts with pandas on them.
That is all I have to say to you today. Happy Wednesday, though I suppose for you it is only just beginning.
