China trip part 7

The day we went to the summer palace was a cloudy day. It rained the night before and temperatures were lower. Again we had the crowds and the people who have never seen western kids wanting to take photos. By now when the locals say hello the kids are responding, no hello, no hello. They are missing home and food they are familiar with so some of them gorge on too many chips, sweets and junk food. Needless to say I had to tell them where the meat of sausages come from and two kids felt sick after their binge and one threw up. Weds was zoo day which henny and I snuck out of. She went shopping and I went to see Christine who was coincidently in Beijing. We had a few nice hours catching up on life and she is still based in south Africa now doing more business w Zimbabwe.

That nite was roast duck night and most of us was counting the days to going home.
