Her mother( we think it was her mother) was sitting near by and was sending her toward our direction. We did NOT give her any money. Sometimes children are used by older people(not necessarily their parents)to beg. It is very sad. We do not see something like this in Jacksonville. Hi everyone,

The first graders were amazed that you weren't able to drink the water. It made us very sad to hear about the little girl asking for money. Anna wants to know if you gave her any money. It makes us very grateful for all we have. Have you made it to McDonald's yet? Could you take a closeup picture of a restaurant menu so we all can see it? Thanks for all your updates! We enjoy hearing from you each day! We can’t wait to hear more about Shanghai as you continue traveling. The first graders were amazed that you weren’t able to drink the water.

You need to call Jerome Dong (13572141455). He is the Director of the China program for Cross Cultural Solutions, whom Lily and I stayed with for 3 weeks while we were in China. His organization was working in several schools when we were there. Happy to hear you arrived safely in Shanghai! We're loving your news.

What an adventure! I love the JOSE photos....they make it so real and concrete that he is sitting so far away and also people on the other side of the world got to touch him. Do they have newspapers available on the streets...in English? Are you exposed to American news? The Chinese invented "fireworks" Do you see many displays or nightly features for fireworks in Shanghai like you had in Hong Kong? Also, Genni in 4th grade wants to know if you see any dogs on leashes as pets walking around in the city...and Audrey wants to know if you ate chicken feet or any other "disgusting thing"? and she says, "We all miss you and hope you have a great time in Shanghai and please bring me back something!"

They were wondering a few things. Did Jose fall asleep on the plane? Are you still having a hard time communicating with everyone? When you are in the garden, we would like to find out the name of the special flower of China and did you see one? We would love to see a picture of someone eating with chopsticks, so we know how to do it on Thursday. We hope you have fun and stay warm. Love, Second Grade The second grade is glad that you have arrived safely.

Have you been to any elementary schools in China (besides the international school)? If so, we are interested to know how they teach the Chinese children English. Do they learn conversational English, grammar rules, how to read in English, and how to write sentences in English? Stay warm!! Ms. Barnwell's class Good morning, day, or evening, Ladies!

We were wondering if there were any trains in Shanghai. Also, did Jose meet any new bears on the airplane? Love, Mrs. Balek’s Class Jose,

It looks very modern. The lights came out great in the pictures...it was neat to see some billboards that we are familiar with, but are in different languages. We were very sad to hear about people begging on the streets :( Did you give the little girl any money? Is Shanghai anything like the U.S.A.? Have fun, sleep good, and be safe! Hooray for bottled water! :) Shanghai looks amazing! It looks very modern.
