Zou 'n' Go in a Hutong

Our second day with dad and Erica in Beijing and we met up with a few of our very good friends to see how good our Chinese history is and to put our navigational skills to the test.  I think it's fair to say we should stick to our own history books and our own neighborhoods!  Still - a grand time was had by all.  Here's a little poem written by our friend Berry summing up our adventures -

We went on a scavenger hunt

Our first dance was quite a dud

Marco Polo was lost so we had to help him at all costs

Then we met up with Tricky Dicky

We threw the balls, even though they were quite sticky

When we found Edward Snow we gave his kicking game a go

Finally we found Comrade Lee Fang where a song of praise we sang

Our friends Jolanda and Maida taking off in a tuk tuk - 

shame they cheated!!
