Forbidden Gardens

August 13th, 2005 · No Comments

Today we visited The Forbidden Gardens. They have a 1/3 scale copy of some of the soldier’s statues that were buried with Emperor Qin, a 1/20th scale copy of The Forbidden City, and the Lodge of the Calming Heart. There is also a room displaying some of the weapons of Emperor Qin’s time, a room displaying details of the architecture of the Forbidden City, and a scale model of sections of the Silk City. It’s well worth a trip if you are in the area.

@bigsranch Not too worry, I'm sure all those billionaires we bailed out will take very good care of us all. # 17 hours ago

@akpoff I think it would've been all over the news if that passed. That would be a big deal. A lack of oversight on Medicare was the prblm # 19 hours ago

@akpoff I have no doubt it is a contributing factor, as is double billing and people getting the works because it is not out of pocket. # 19 hours ago

Well now that we are about 40% poorer than we were a few weeks ago should we thank congress for making sure the billionaires were set? # 19 hours ago

@akpoff It's not this failure, it is that health care costs are growing rapidly and we have far too many uninsured people here. # 20 hours ago
