我们开始去故宫（也叫紫禁城）。我们走在内庭，还走在外庭。故宫有人山人海！我们以后去吃午饭。今天我们吃很地道的北京反。大家都喜欢。 我们坐巴士去天坛。我们看到了一个木摸天坛。它造出来的11180件！看天坛以后，我们去难锣鼓巷。有的人在这儿买T恤衫，有的人买星巴克！我们坐一辆黄包车通过胡同。我们下黄包车，就进入谁的房间。他是功夫师傅，是五十九岁。他明年会退休。导游教我门怎么做水饺。你先拿面团，然后你放卷心菜在里面。然后，你折饺子。功夫师傅的妻子做很好吃的饭！我们吃饭以后回酒店休息和睡觉。 明天我们去上海！ We started by going to the Forbidden City [which is literally called “The Purple City”]. We walked around the inner court and the outer court. The Forbidden City had mountains and seas of people [a Chinese expression to say a lot of people]! Afterwards we went to Read more…

(As always, translation is below) 我们先吃一个很好吃的早饭。我们坐巴士去慕田峪的长城。大家有很多能源，所以爬长城很容易！我们拍很多照片在顶部。我们做雪橇去下面。坐雪橇很快！我们有时间买东西。讨价还价很重要！有的人买帽子，有的人买磁铁。我们在一家北京农村的餐馆吃午饭。大家觉得中国反很好吃，比美国的中国反更好！ 我们然后去798，一个当代艺术区。有的人在这儿买明信片。然后，我们去看一个杂技表演，很有意思！看表演以后我们去吃晚饭。今天晚上的餐馆是北京烤鸭餐馆，是我最好吃的饭！导游教我门怎么折煎饼。 明天我们去故宫，天坛，和一个胡同。明天也有很多好吃的饭。在北京，好玩永不停止！ 看看下面的照片。 We first started our day with a very delicious breakfast.

Hi all! We are something called a pot sticker as part of our dinner last night. It’s a kind of dumpling, but it is fried by laying the dough on the pan and filling it with vegetables and lemongrass (to give it that tangy flavor). It is served with a Read more…
