On the way to the people’s square our usual guide Jackie wasn’t able to join us, so volunteers Livia and Yo Yo did their best to entertain us by singing songs to us in mandarin.  It was completely charming.  Then we arrived at the people’s square which is a large area surrounding government buildings with …
