Freezing in Beijing and the Forbidden City 2/7/12

So cold there was ice in the fountains

I had to go on a business trip to Beijing and was determined to try and grab a geocache or two in China. When I arrived it was absolutely freezing, the high was 27F. I got a break in the middle of the week so I headed off to the Forbidden City, all bundled up like the Michelin man. It was really cool to see, both literally and figuratively. Once we got back and I defrosted, I decided to go for some other geocaches. I was surprised, but there are not a lot in the city. I found one in a shopping district, a virtual geocache where you take a photo of yourself at a particular spot. I went for another one, but there where police cars nearby so, since I could no longer feel my toes, I called it a day.
