THE FORBIDDEN CITY

This is me at the Forbidden City. It was the house of the Emperor a long time ago. It is very very huge. It has a throne. It has staffs and cannons and spears and arrows. Lots of Emperors lived here and had lots of children.

MY BABY SISTER MEIKA

I got my baby sister and she is cute. She cried at first but now she laughs at me. I love her. I like pushing her in the stroller. She didn't like mcdonalds except the milk. She made a funny face when she ate the ketchup.

MY MOM ATE A SCORPION!

Yesterday my mom ate a scorpion. My mom thought that the legs tasted like potato chips. Then she ate the body and said it tasted like a soft shell crab. I thought it looked disgusting!

TIANIMIN SQUARE

This is me and my mom in Tianamin Square. It is very famous. Chairman Mao's painting and body are there. It is a big place. It was very hot. I got a popcycle. It was good. My mom poured water on my head. Silly mom. People stared at us because we are from USA.

I SAW HOW SILK IS MADE

I saw a woman who let us touch a piece of silk it was soft it was very fun. She stretched it on a loop. We saw a moth in a cocoon. I was very happy. Some cocoons have one worm and some have two. You have to soak them in water and unwind them. They let me take a cocoon home. I can show you. My mom bought a quilt. Done for now, Love, Liliana

THE NIGHT SNACK MARKET IN BEIJING

Yesterday night I saw a Food Market it had scorpions and silk worm cocoons to eat. I saw people eat it, I felt like I would get sick. And they were eating starfish on a stick. It was disgusting. My mom wanted to eat the scorpions but I said no to her, it scared me.

ACROBATS!

The acrobatics were the best acrobatics I have ever seen. Acrobatics are kind of like gymnastics people. They are even better. Three women siting on her head . There were colorful birds that flew around the theater. It was fun.

ALMOST READY FOR CHINA

I think going to china is going to be amazing. I think we are going to see the pandas. There are over one billion people in china. That is a lot of people COME ON I will walk the great wall of china. I will see a temple and I will see a big Buddha.

Here is a picture I me and my Mama when I was a baby the last time I was in china.

Goodbye for now.
