Heyo

China has been pretty cool so far! I bought a jade bracelet and a little clossiene (enamel) horse! This is so exciting! Somethings I could skip, like the Forbidden City (have you seen the line?)! Beijing, China is a very clean city but is always hazy because of pollution. We went to the Great Wall and yesterday we went to a crumbling city named Chanduxia, which is over 500 years old, which is older than the U.S.A.! Quick history lesson on the age of the U.S.A.: If you consider the signing of the Declaration of Independence the birth of the U.S. then it is 229 years old, if you consider the making of the Constitution and putting rules in place, then the U.S. is 216 years old. But if you consider when England released the U.S. from its ownership, then the U.S. is 222 years old.
