Day 15 The Raising of the flag in Tiananmen Square

A Couple of us set our alarms for 5.30am and went to Tiananmen Square to watch the rising of the flag

For some silly reason because it was super early in the morning we just thought there wouldn't b tat many people there......silly

It was hazy at this early hour and so many people

and a little more

and a little more

and a little more

and a little more

and there is almost is.....
