Me too! Last year, Beijing & Great Wall.

The Forbidden City was boring but realizing how Chinese royalty lived, in their own protected city, was enlightening.

Yeah. The Chinese are all about face and symbolism.

So they're building a replica of the Forbidden City here -- their White House and Capitol, their Houses of Parliament and Quai d'Orsai and Reichstag all rolled into one. Right here. In Texas.

Penny drop yet, pardner?
