not much time to write
beijing was awesome
climbed the great wall for 3 hours
still hurting
my socks were yellow
but i am a bright pink
still hurting
still pink
sunscreen must not work in china
tien'ammen square
large portrait of a certain chinese emperor
ironic that he put it on the last emperor's palace
even though he claimed to have eliminated the whole
'one ruler' thing
olympic garden
water cube
bird's nest
huMONGous
beautiful
tourists everywhere
forbidden city
fours hours of walking
through courtyards surrounded
by really old and awesome looking buildings
that all look exactly the same
which is cool after about an hour and a half
but not four
some other really old park similar to the forbidden city
but better because it was less formal and touristy
played hackeysack with locals
and 'healthy hoops' with old people
where you'd throw soft fabric hoops at another person
and they'd catch it around their neck
many, many restaurants
and many, many types of animal intestines
followed by many gulps of water
and many nasty pieces stuck between my teeth
Li Min was our guide and he knew kung fu and always wanted us to have a "tradishunal chiness bwreakfrast"
in ersha
need to go
stampede approaching
five year olds
so many five year olds
love you mom dad brian
well maybe not brian
well...okay, i guess so
AND STAY OUT OF MY ROOM THIS TIME
or else i won't give you your present
that i haggled down to a dollar to buy
cuz i'm cool like that
and you're a loser
...
yeah
bye

Hi Julie!
Come on. Did you really eat intestines? I think you have to use Chinese sunscreen in China for it to work. Hope your sunburn doesn't hurt too bad. Did you channel the former inhabitants of The Forbidden City when you were there? I would think it would be quite mystical. Playing games with the locals sounds like the most intriguing opportunity you had. It must have been fun to interact with them. I bet the little 5 year olds are sooooo cute! It means so much that they see that Americans are just normal people like them. Can't wait to see your pictures. Oh, by the way, your brother has been hanging out in your bedroom. He's changed a few things. I think you'll like them. Just kidding. We love you. Keep us posted. Mom,Dad,Brian
I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING MUCHO FUN!!! and not missing AP english too much....
