It was truly an eventful day with very little down time. I walked back from the Great Hall of the People and it’s already 11:15 p.m. so I’m going to make this a short post and catch up another time. Too tired to download any pictures.
In order, we visited Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, The Hanban/Confucius Institute Headquarters, and finally the banquet at the Great Hall. Hanban sponsors the trip with the College Board sponsoring on the U.S. side.
The sights were unbelievable with the mix of old in the Forbidden City with the new and modern construction. The city is very clean with no graffiti to be seen and very little litter, which gets picked up quickly, sort of like Disneyland. The
counter to this is the number of street hawkers trying to sell everything from Mao watches to kites.Tomorrow is a lecture at Beijing University followed by bus travel to Hebei Province to visit schools for the next three days. With another reception in the evening I don’t know if I’ll get much time to post.

Just glad you're finding time to post. Sounds like quite an itinerary!
How cool is that? Sounds like a surreal experience. Don't worry about the sleep, you can do that when you get home! Soak it all in and enjoy.
