Beijing Botanical Gardens

We went to the Beijing Botanical Gardens in groups of 5 students and their tutors, but one of the CIEE students has been horribly sick since he got here so we had only 9. After a bit of walking around we played some sort of card game that I heard described as a "watered down version of 'mafia,'" but I don't know what that is either. Anyway, we had a great time, here are some pics.

This is pretty much just a crape myrtle flower, but it still looks cool.
