Living in Beijing


The first day we got to the hotel. We changed(ish) and crossed the street to eat. Most of the food was spicy. It was good but unexpected. The girls sat together and Jose and I sat with Ms. McMurdo and Ms. Lo. Then we went to our rooms. Keyla is with Julian, Monica and Alex are together next door, then farther down is Ms. Lo and Ms. McMurdo. Two rooms away are me and Jose. We changed, took alkaseltzer, showered, and went to sleep.


The next day was our first full day. We got up and showered, changed and went down to eat breakfast. It was a buffet and we ate a lot. Then we headed out with Kathy, our tour guide, who was cool, to the Great Wall to become men. We quickly realized how hard it was. ¼ of the way up, we were all struggling, except Ms. Lo and Keyla. Then we stopped and went down because Julian felt bad. We also went to the Jade Market. It looked very beautiful but expensive!

Day 3 we went to the Forbidden City and walked A LOT! Not cool, but it’s the past. 






We saw their subway and the buildings, we also went to the Temple of Heaven, where we danced, played kick-feather (I’m good at it) and made a pyramid for a group photo.
