Yesterday we went to a Supermarket and VERY loud Christmas music was playing while everyone was shopping. There are also lots of Christmas lights in the area around our hotel. Sales people in the stores all seem to wear Santa hats. From all the cities we visited, Hong Kong had the most Christmas displays. <a title="Photo Sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sjeds/317697130/" rel="nofollow"> <div style="text-align: center"><img width="180" height="240" alt="Xian 003" src="http://static.flickr.com/129/317697130_6c418541ca_m.jpg" /></div> </a>We saw two Panda bears at the zoo. One of them was sleeping, curled up in a corner though. We did not get to see his face. Because the zoo excursion was not included in our tour and we "begged" the tour guide to take us, we only had time to visit the Panda exhibit. Yes, it snows in Beijing. Since we have arrived on Saturday it has been very cold, but no snow yet for us. There are many Christmas things displayed in Beijing.

There were so many interesting facts. Have you seen a lot of Christmas things in Beijing? Did you see more than one panda bear? What other animals were at the zoo? Did you enjoy your ride on the rickshaw? Did you like the green bean pie? Does it snow in Beijing? We miss you so much!!! Second grade has a bunch of things to ask.
