More From Shea

I was having blogger glitches when Shea sent me her last blog entries, so they were on hold. Here are her thoughts on her last few days.  Thanks for writing about your experiences Shea, everyone loved reading them!

Hey all you bog readers out there! I just noticed something, I never said happy Valentines Day on Valentines Day! So happy belated Valentines Day! Now, about today.

Today we didn’t have Alice with us again. We had things to do before we leave. We spent almost the whole day at the Yashow Market! We had bought gifts for our friends. We got scarves, purses, shoes, and clothing. We had gotten glamorous wallets for my cousins, Molly and Emma, a purse for their mom, Laura Varon Brown, you might recognize that name from the paper, shoes for my cousin who is just 5 years old and her mom is about to have a baby girl! So we got the newborn and the 5 year old, Sloane, some shoes, and we bought more wacko stuff! I, surprisingly, didn’t get anything for me until later! Usually I would find something I like instantly and I would be the first one to buy something, before we even found something for anyone else!

I’ve been reading your comments lately and a lot say things about pictures. No worries, they’ll be up in a short while! They might not be posted with their correct blog, but they’ll be up and you’ll be able to tell which one goes with which.

We went to see the Acrobats tonight! They were absolutely AMAZING!!! ASTONISHING!!! Some of them did mess up a little bit, but when they did, it wasn’t so bad. There were 3 kids doing some seriously cool things! They were doing funny but cool looking handstands on 1 pogo stick with 1 arm! Sometimes, they would do some real kid stuff like bouncing on pogo sticks (with 2 pogo sticks with both arms) while their legs were going crazy, like a young child would do! These kids looked like they were younger than me! Younger than 10! Absolutely ASTONISHING!!! There was this thing called the Slack Wire. It was kind of like a tight rope, but I guess they don’t call it that here. So, this guy, who looked extremely young, like another kid, and he was walking and doing tricks on it! He did handstands, headstands, (without hands. Just head) and he took a ladder and put it on the wire, then did a handstand on it! It was SUPER COOL!! Then, he took a unicycle and rode around on it on the wire! That is called EXTREME BALLENCE!!!

So, sorry there wasn’t much to tell, and sorry this one doesn’t have a picture, they wouldn’t let us video tape or take pictures. L But, there’ll be more tomorrow! So stay tuned!

I guess for the rest of the time here, we are not going to have Alice with us.  Mom and I got around just fine today. We went to the Temple of Heaven. When we got there, there wasn’t much, but there were people dancing, singing, and there was an exercise park with all these exercise machines! But they were much different from what we have in Michigan, but they are so much more fun than what there is in Michigan! So, mom and I hung out over there for about 20 minutes and then we went to the Temple. At the Temple, there wasn’t much to see. There were a lot of stairs and single stairs in the middle for the Emperor to walk on. When you got to the Temple part, you could only look from the outside looking in. There wasn’t much inside, just a throne and some desks.

After the Temple of Heaven, we went back to the hotel room and watched movies and read our books. It took us a while before we started gussying up for tonight, that night we were going to get the famous (in China) Peking Duck! I was so tired during dinner! I slept through it! I’ve been sleeping through every dinner I’ve been on this vacation! I was up for the duck, it tasted like chicken! It was good, but I still didn’t eat it. I won’t eat anything that looks like what it is, like duck. If it looks like a duck, I’m not eating it! They chopped off the head! It even had the beak and everything! GROSS!!!!!

I am SOOO sorry I don’t have more to tell! I’ll try to tell more tomorrow!

******************************************************************************************************Today is my last day, and I really didn’t do anything. I got a manicure, and we went to the Water Cube again. Mom went out to dinner with one of my dad’s co-workers while my dad and I got room service.

Today wasn’t much of a blog, but this is what happened today! Catch ya l8er!
