random photos
Sep. 6th, 2006 04:01 pmI haven't posted any photos lately, so here are some random ones that I've taken over the past couple weeks.
Last Saturday we went to the Presidential Palace here in Nanjing. It is a sprawling structure housing many different museums. It was a sweltering day and the boys were just not up for sight-seeing. We really only saw the bit about the Taiping Rebellion. What? You say you've never heard of the Taiping Rebellion? Surely you must be new to my journal for I'm sure you would have educated yourself on it when I studied it last year. Don't you remember the paper I had to write on it? No? Well, take this moment and go look it up on Wikipedia. I'd provide the link if I could, but Wikipedia is blocked in China.
Here are the boys standing in front of the Heavenly Son's throne. Wow. I had no idea it would be so lavish. Somehow, despite all my studying about the rebellion, I had it in my mind that they lived in tents and never really amassed such fortune. Just,...wow.
