Here's a pic of most of the students outside the gate to the massive Imperial Palace. Our guide was enthusiastic about the meaning of colors, numbers, etc. Pretty interesting. Also learned a lot about the eunuchs' role in ancient times... Bitter cold today but we ate enough to make up for the calories expended. The city of Beijing is a contrast in opulence and sooty tiredness--a tour of the old courtyard-style multi-family hutongs actually put us in residents' century-old living rooms, with a gracious host. Every one has been nice.
