Everywhere that you are talking about in China I have been to! Temple of Heaven in Beijing - yes! Datong, Pingyao, Xi'an - yes yes yes! Been there! You are going to have an amazing time on your trip. High five to speaking Chinese too. I haven't been able to tackle that - it's so hard! :)Wanderlusting Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114858337458304866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97848288601006799.post-71278496345291947172010-06-23T07:31:47.738+08:002010-06-23T07:31:47.738+08:00Great post, I love the serious dancing woman, she ...Great post, I love the serious dancing woman, she is my favorite!<br /><br /><a href="http://chic-onthe-cheap.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Chic on the Cheap</a>LyddieGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604790644999494872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97848288601006799.post-40482514521495373382010-06-22T19:06:12.592+08:002010-06-22T19:06:12.592+08:00I'd heard about the grandparents pimping out t...I'd heard about the grandparents pimping out their grandkids, but never seen pictures!

I am glad you liked Beijing!!<br /><br />Woodlandsblonde - I know, funny huh? I did a post on it earlier and there is a video on it someone else did, its really funny and short, worth watching if you have time! It was last month and post is titled "Matchmaker matchmaker in Beijing."<br /><br />Kamara - thanks so much!<br /><br />Andi - they do put a lot of focus on healthy eating and exercise and natural remedies. The one area that to me sort of conflicts with that is that they use MSG in almost all their food, at least when you go out to a restaurant.<br /><br />Cafebellini - if you have any tips for Xi'an, let me know!!<br /><br />Thanks for commenting everyone!<br /><br />StephMsHarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023014736812574910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97848288601006799.post-10157837875077149742010-06-19T04:47:51.733+08:002010-06-19T04:47:51.733+08:00That last picture is beautiful!

It was freezing so I didnt see as many people as you did. the place is so gorgeous. Looking at your posts makes me miss beijing so much. people there are so nice and kind. I love seeing the pics you took of Beijing people. I saw a lot of them doing the same dance, playing jianzi too not at the temple of heaven but huohai, have you been? that place is beautiful too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13059286556673421253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97848288601006799.post-26846244647574467652010-06-19T00:57:21.168+08:002010-06-19T00:57:21.168+08:00So cute!

Another thing - you can have a white person pretty much fluent in Chinese, and then an Asian American that speaks no Chinese whatsoever, but because the person looks like they should speak Chinese, they get the menus, the attention, the speaking - its really funny. A friend who lived here for the past year told us she made it into a game - she speaks Chinese, they speak English, she speaks Chinese, they speak English, she speaks Chinese... until eventually she "wins" and they just switch to Chinese.
