BEIJING: T-shirt in a Beijing department store, with a slightly garbled version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. May 25: much aimless running around, checking in with United Airlines, visit to very interesting historical museum, loaded with Shang bronzes, great pottery, early printing and books. I rushed through it to have time to pay one final brief visit to the Forbidden City--a long walk to the entrance--but I did get to explore some of its ancillary museums. We had trouble finding a place open for a late lunch, and finally gave up. Most of us were ready to skip a meal after the all the feasting we had done. May 26: up at 5:40 AM for the long trip home: a bus to airport, then flights to Shanghai, Tokyo, San Francisco, and Spokane.
