We saw statues of gazzalles pecoks dragons and lions one with a baby lion under its left foot and one with a sphare under its right foot. Some of the bulidings were geting make overs for the Olympics. When we were leaving we saw someone writing chinese on the concret with a giant paint brush and water. From Reid Snuffles and Silky

We're in China!


Neehow everyone!
Sorry I haven't been in touch its just that we haven't had any internet connection. Anyway on the twenty-fifth of October we drove up to the Auckland airport and at two pm we boarded a plane bound for Hong Kong. Our flight took eleven hours and forty minutes, but we had plenty to entertain ourselves with, after all we all had a little T.V screen on the back of the seats in front of us and a book each. We arrived in Hong Kong and took a Taxi to our hotel (Hong Kong disney land hotel.) and went to our room. I was tired and fell asleep quickly but woke up around four o' clock am. (nine o' clock New Zealand time.) What I didn't realize was that so was Mum, Dad and Reid! at around six o' clock we went for a walk at the Hong Kong Disney land entrance but we couldn't go in. Our flight was supposed to be at one forty-five but we were delayed three hours and were told only when we had all boarded the plane. After what seemed liked for ever we took of for Beijing. once we go there Dad's friend John picked us up and took us to his house Where we met his wife, Tanya. we stayed the night at their house. in the morning we whent to a Chinese supermarket where there were GREEN CHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Later we went on a pedicab tour around the ancient Hutongs. Yesterday we went on the Great Wall of China and walked a long stretch of it. It was one of the things I was really looking forward to, and guess what! It was snowing! Which is pretty rare.

The Great Wall


Yesterday (Sunday) we visited the Great Wall of China. Our friends took us to a place where very few visitors go there were no crowds. We had to walk up a track through the bush. It had snowed the night before and it looked just like a Christmas card. The wall is nearly 7000km long! That's about 3 times as long as New Zealand! It ranges in age from 1000 years to only 150 years. The people are very friendly and helpful and they Reid's blonde hair - they want to touch him and hey say he is beautiful!
