There were too many pictures from today to get into just one post, so I split them up. . .
The statue of Chairman Mao in Chairman Mao Square, which is just down the street from our hotel. . .I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but it is HUGE - maybe 30-40 feet tall? Not sure, but definitely BIG. . .our escort told us a joke about it. A grandma and her grandson were walking by the statue, and the grandma asked the boy, "What is Chairman Mao doing?" The boy thought for a while, then answered, "Trying to get a taxi!"
Ed and me in front of the statue. The square is in the middle of a very busy traffic circle - it was quite a feat to get across the street to reach the square. With no traffic lights and heavy traffic, it posed quite a challenge!
The street our hotel is on, called Nanjing Beijie Street - our hotel is on the right side. . .
Mr. Lee, who bears a striking resemblance to a certain Colonel. . .could it be a KFC knockoff?
