For those who are unaware, Curniss is fascinated with Chinese history and culture and was very excited to spend a week in Beijing, the capital of the People’s Republic of China. We checked out all the major sight-seeing locations including Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, the 2008 Olympic Stadium and the Silk Market where Curniss proved she has some serious bargaining skills.
