Hello everyone. This past week we went overseas for the first time on the trip:
China! So, I guess I should really say, "ni hao," which is how you say hello in Chinese (it's pronounced "nee how"). Our first stop was Beijing, where we were met by our new friend, Mon. She was nice enough to guide us around the city and showed us some of her favorite places and restaurants.
Beijing is all cleaned up because they just hosted the
Olympics. There are all new subways and they even rebuilt the airport. All over the city, there are signs with the
Olympic mascots and the motto, "One World, One Dream." They also have lots of topiaries that are shaped like the Great Wall,
pandas and more.
