FINALLY BACK ON!!!!!!!

The flight to China was extremely long!!!! It took about 24 hours!!! But it was a good time. I met a lot of nice people who gave me good advice and taught me some Chinese. :)

Mountains we saw while flying over Alaska

Some artwork in Tokyo's airport.

The first week here was a whirl wind of activities. We went to Tiananmen Square, an acrobat show, and the weird food market (not it's real name but it describes it pretty well).

The acrobat show was really amazing. There were guys flipping little girls around while they balanced bowls on their heads and feet, girls spinning plates with their hands while they did flips, and 12 girls riding on the same bike. It was a ton of fun and I would have taken a lot of pictures but they weren't allowed.

The weird food market is a line of vendors that carry have interesting foods on sticks that they will cook and season for you. Certain people in our group had starfish, scorpion, snake, and pig testicles. I only tried the starfish which was okay. But I had a lot of fun taking pictures of everyone else.

The guys eating pig testicles. (they said it was really good)

Yesterday, we had a different adventure. We were given a scavenger hunt and we had to find our way to the Summer Palace by ourselves. The scavenger hunt was okay but the Summer Palace was AMAZING!!!!

Thanks guys for being patient!
