Soldiers of the PRC filing out of the Forbidden City and into Tiananmen. The post seems to be mostly for show and consists of standing imposingly under beach umbrellas in front of important landmarks. Most of the real security is decidedly subtler, although I'm sure if I were a rural farmer trying to immolate myself there, they might have something to say about that.
Oh hey! Nice picture (as usual). Also, funny you should post this picture because Jen told me yesterday that I might "get the opportunity" to visit three or four universities in China this autumn. That would be a trip (in so many ways)!
ReplyDeleteThat would be amazing! Would be pretty interesting to see China from that academicky side...*coughcough* need a documentarian?
