"Can you climb over this taxi barricade?"

We were caught between a rock and a hard place – now in the taxi queue, but this time Wyona finding out from the woman ahead of us, that a taxi would take longer on top of the ground, than the subway would take below, but there was no way to get out of the line-up.  Greg was the first one to check out the barricade, to see that it was bolted to the ground, thus stable enough for all five of us to climb it,  swing our legs over it, and head back to the subway to get to the Forbidden City.  Not dignified, but it worked. Won’t be able to travel when I can no longer swing my legs over high fences.
