Some questions and answers from the comments…

Evan wants to know how the birthday cake was and the rest of the class says HELLO!!!
–Ms. Shaiman and the class
Ms. Shamian the cake looked great and the icing tasted good, but I didn’t like the cake part so much. It was a double decker cake and before they put the second layer on they put a pineapple cut into pieces on it. I didn’t like it, but my parents did.

Who would win in a dumpling-eating contest: your Dad or your Mom? China is the place to find out!

It’s good you like Chinese food. Any Italian food available?
–Ed Mong Sr.
We haven’t really looked, but there is Pizza Hut, Domino’s, KFC, McDonalds, and a few Italian food restaurants. We won’t go to any of those because there’s too much exciting Chinese food to explore.

Sasha would like to hear about any animals you’ve seen. Does Beijing have squirrels? And Michael wants to know if you are all eating with chopsticks.
–Andrea
There aren’t any squirrels, but there are some cool looking birds and I saw a butterfly. Do bugs count? There’s not so many at all. Only gnats.We also saw a bunch of animals at the zoo. Yes, we all are eating with chopsticks.

I imagine it will take you some time to adjust to the time change. So, what do the Chinese serve for breakfast?
–Andrea
I searched for “chinese breakfast” on the internet. Apparently, a bowl of “congee” is just the thing to have on cold, rainy mornings. I would let your Dad try it first.
–Dave Dunkle
I refused to try the congee because it looked really gross. It’s mashed up rice with some mixtures in it. Who knows maybe I will try it and like it.
