Beijing Day 4

Today we went to the summer palace and the birds nest. I had not yet been to the summer palace so that was very interesting. There was lots of traffic in Beijing today, not that there isn’t every other day. While on our trip to the summer palace another girl got her ATM card stuck in a ATM card I really have no idea how they do it. I mean you put your card in and all you have to do is take when it spits it back out, but that was okay. Later while at the summer palace we went through the long corridor or hallway I do not know the English translation but it is something along the lines of that. After going through the long hallway we went on a boat ride on one of the dragon boats which hold about 40 people this was lots of fun because there was a tour group from Greece on the boat with us and they brought a boom box, like a full sized boom box, and had a kind of dance party thing and it was really funny to see that in China. The birds nest was nothing to write home about.
