Our last seminar day in China was spent at two magnificent locations, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall!
We visited the Temple of Heaven, visited by emperors for centuries. We witnessed many retired Chinese citizens doing their daily exercise.
After the visit, we traveled about 1 1/2 hours outide of Beijing to a remote location to have lunch at the Schoolhouse (a renovated Chinese schoolhouse) where we had a wonderful buffet. The owner is an American and his wife. He briefly visited each table and described his life and his entrepreneurial ventures in China over the past 25 years.
Later, we climbed the Great Wall. It was hard work, but an experience not to be forgotten.
Tomorrow, we leave Beijing for Rochester. The entire trip has been an educational experience from beginning to end. Professor Matteson has led us on a global and enlightening experience for all.
