Back from China

So I got back from china on the 23rd but I been lazy to update this blog. So heres a long over due update of what happened.



In this picture, my mom, dad and I are climbing the Great Wall. I was a lot harder then I expected. From far away it doesn't look that big but when you're actually walking on it, its another story.



At night we stopped by a tourist location in downtown Beijing. The setup on the ceiling is similar to the one in Las Vegas but this one is smaller. During the Olympics, people would gather and lay on the floor to watch the games.

For some reason, the frog with a coin in its mouth is really popular in China. I'm not too sure what it means or stands for.

Another pic of the Tienanmen square

The building behind me is where Chairman Mao is preserved in some kind of chamber. It was not open so we could not go look.

This tree in this picture is where one of the emperor hung himself when the capital was invaded.
