a playground , China - 20th February 2015
By: goomymia
I looked outside through the window this morning. It was snowing!
Dear mum, I was really excited and can't wait to build a snowman!
Wow, that's the building where I'm staying at right now, it's higher than I thought.
When I just about to climb a tree Anton called me to play seesaw with him.
I was wondering why I was always on the down side...
Do you think I need to lose weight mum?

a seesaw, China - 20th February 2015
By: goomymia
We agree Eliott is the heaviest one, he decided to sit in the middle to balance the seesaw.
'I really need to find a nice place to build a snowman' I thought, 'the higher you are the further you see.'

I got a bird's eye view on the tree and discovered a perfect place to build a snowman. When we reached the ground, we can't help ourselves making snow angels! The snow was really soft It was so much fun!
The snow fight began with Crabs' hat. Actually Crabs made a snow ball and threw it right on Dancing Dolly's head and he said 'look Dolly, I made a snow hat for you.'
Then the snow war started...

So sad this is my last day at Simão IV's home, we are going to leave after lunch.
We decided to do some morning reading. Dancing Dolly found a book about America on shelf.
The title of the book is
'Greetings from the 50 States, How They Got Their Names.'
Haha, It's about Dolly's homeland and we also found her home state: South Carolina on the map.

Dear mum, today we went to a restaurant to farewell with Dolly and GiGi.
Mia ordered 'Tofu with Preserved Eggs'.
She loves that dish so much, every time we went to a restaurant together,
she would definitely have one if they serve it.
We also ordered 'Beijing Noodles with Soybean Paste'. Humm..very tasty.
I brought my lollipops to share, can't believe we keep them till today, haha.

Dear mum, today is a very nice day, we decided to visit a famous temple.
It is located in western mountains of Beijing.
Here are some pictures I took on the road.
When we got to the entrance, I checked the site map first..
Aha..it seems we will see a lot of halls today.
Did you see the turtle on the photo below? He is Slowly-Slowly, my new friend just arrived today.

Tanzhe Temple, China - 28th February 2015
By: goomymia
Here is the first hall of Tanzhe Temple.
Wow Tanzhe Temple was built in 307 AD over 1,700 years ago! That's pretty cool!
People said this temple is older than Beijing city.
I also saw some typical Buddhist stuff...they like golden color I guess.

the Mahavira Hall, Tanzhe Temple, China - 28th February 2015
By: goomymia
Heading to the north, we arrived at the Mahavira Hall.
Honestly I know nothing about Buddhist temple.
I bet you can hardly find a Buddhist temple like this in my hometown, Finland.
It seems that every temple should have a Mahavira Hall as the center building

the Ordination Altar, Tanzhe Temple, China - 28th February 2015
By: goomymia
Did you see that?
Magnolias are ready to bloom. Aha! Spring is coming!
We took a rest beside the bamboo forest.
The last pic is a dragon I found today.
I reckon this kind of decoration shows that Emperors always came here long time ago.
You should come here if you visit Beijing mum.
