BaiHei

When we saw panda bears at the zoo, Mom bought me a small stuffed animal panda. I named her BaiHei, meaning BlackWhite. These are her adventures around China.

On the bullet train! This was the first train we took in China. The lines to pick up our tickets were really long, so everyone but Mom, Lily, and me missed the train. They caught a sleeper train after eating a disgusting egg made with ashes and we met together after a night, but we missed a day of seeing things.

First video I've tried to blog, might not work. Out the bullet train's window.

On a terrifying bus ride up a mountain. There were lots of cliffs and bumps in the roads, and landslides made it more dangerous. I thought it was like a roller coaster ride, but scarier.

At the beautiful rice terraces. The bus took us some of the way up there, and we hiked around the mountain.

Xi'An Terracotta Warriors! There was a very, very cramped crowd I went through in order to get to the place that I took the picture from. Once I escaped from it, it felt really nice to have an inch of space on every side of me.

Wudangshan, temples up in a mountain. Lots of stairs.

Great Wall!

The Forbidden City, in Beijing.

I loved the golden roofs in the Forbidden City.

He's making the Mao Face.

At the circular and beautifully painted Temple of Heavenly Peace.

On a bridge in Shanghai's water towns.

In the gardens of a nunnery in Hong Kong.

This picture was taken looking through the glass floor of a cable car taking us to the Big Buddha. 

BaiHei's seen some pretty cool things. And though we're going home in two days, there's still more to blog about and more to see.

Google Translate

Here in China, many words are in both Chinese and English. Some things aren't translated ideally. Our favorite things to look at for these mistakes are shirts.

Funny Signs

One of the best parts about speaking English when almost no one else does is that we can point funny shirts out to each other without anyone getting offended. Then no one has any idea what we are laughing about.
I hope you've laughed a lot, since we sure did.
