Everywhere I went people wanted to take their picture with me. On the great wall I was stopped constantly. At the famous portrait of Mao at the entrance to the Forbidden City I started to get nervous, as the police began to take notice. I was not personally scared but I was worried for the Chinese people that they would not get hassled for having approached me. At the Terracotta warriors a group of elderly men, part of Mao's cadre replete with the old jackets and hats approached me. I really wished I had pics, but there were communist officials around and I did not want to cause offense. I shook each of their hands though and said hello. I don't know what they were saying but the kilt got lots of attention.
