COMMUNIST CHINA
For the most part, the fact that China is a communist country isn't very noticeable. I just wanted to put in a couple of photos that reminded me that I was actually in a country with a communist government.

This is right outside of Chairman Mao's tomb, in Tiananmen Square.

These are the "listeners" that I described above. Our guide told us who they were and explained to us what they do.These soldiers dressed in everyday clothes and then mingled in the Forbidden City just to listen to people.
