Next Tuesday we will be flying to Beijing for our Thanksgiving vacation. Here is our itinerary as provided by our tour guide Oliver An:
1. 21st November
Visit the Tienanmen square and the forbidden city. Afternoon visit the Summer palace.
2. 22nd November
Visit the mutianyu great wall (cable car up and slide down).
Evening visit the acrobatic show (children like it very much.) I would be make the reservation for your family.
3. 23rd November
Visit the lama temple and Old Peking (by rickshaw).
Afternoon visit temple of heaven and local shopping.
A lot of expatriates use this guy to arrange outings when travelling to China. I'm sure this is the standard package of outings that he uses. Mostly I'm looking forward to seeing the Great Wall. I think it will be impressive.
That daughter of mine is a silly one. I was eating warm apple crisp with ice cream and offered her a taste and she recoiled like I was offering her the bubonic plague. Then I was chopping onions and peppers for supper and she walked up and said "I want to try one" and grabbed a slice of onion and started eating it. That is just wrong on so many levels. You veggie eaters have to tell me, is it just me or is this strange?

They weren't green peppers were they? I didn't think you ate green stuff. My 3 year old grandaughter would rather eat salad and mushrooms than cookies.
No they were red peppers and she didn't eat too much of the onion but she has done that a couple times. Just the fact that she thinks they look more appealing to taste blows me away.
We need a new topic to vote on...
Looking forward to the pictures of China. Take one of the rickshaw and it's "driver" - what an archaic mode of transportation.
No turkey for you on Thanksgiving -maybe some labrador???
:)
Funny rickshaw story: When we were on our honeymoon in Nepal we took a rickshaw ride (but it was attached to a bike). Anyway one time he had to stop fast and Robyn flew out of it but landed on her feet. Also we had to get out and walk on one big hill.
Who is demanding a new poll but isn't brave enough to put their name down? As you can see there is a new poll.
