My poncho ripped but in the time between it ripping and me buying a new one my bag got soaked which confused my camera and soaked my passport. Then by time I got to the Forbidden City that afternoon it was closed since it was Monday. Certainly not the best trip I've been on but hopefully, if I come back, it'll be better.
