My Trip back to China

Hi, my name is Valerie Wood and I was lucky enough to get to go to China!

One of the things we got to do was go to Tianemen Square and The Forbidden City which are both Beijing. The square is huge with lots of people.  There were government buildings around it with red flags raised.

Yulin told us this meant that the government council was in session.  At the end of the square is the entrance to The Forbidden City.  But we got there too late to go in, so we went up the long stair case to a balcony with a great view of Tianeman Square.

After we left the square we went out for dinner with our pen pals. We had a great time.  There was a clown who did magic tricks and one guy who did a dance and he kept changing masks.  It was fantastic.

I really LOVED going to China.  It was so awesome to see where I came from.  I loved everything about China (except the toilets!).
