English Center, Beijing, China - 5th February 2015

Hi mum,
Today Mia took me to a language school. The class was so boring...I almost fell asleep. When I was about to have fun with Crabs, Mia reminded us to keep quiet. I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! At the moment I was just going to break down, the class was over. Yay! Game time!
Love

Hi mum,
We just came back home, Simão III said he got a package. It seems heavy, we can't wait to open it. We saw a tail came out frist, someone inside said something and then a pair of big ears came out. After 10 minutes, Eliott showed up! He is the most lovely elephant baby I've ever seen. One important thing is he is super polite, I guess that's somehow related to where is he from, he is a British elephant.
Love

a shopping mall , Beijing, China - 8th February 2015
By: goomymia
Dear mum,
Crabs finally agreed to ride bike with us, and we went to a shopping mall to taste snacks. I can tell this kind of snack which is called Takoyaki is quite popular because we needed to wait in line to order. I also learned a Japanese phrase which is 'i ta da ki ma su'! Hmmmm..yummy.
Love

Subway Line 1, Beijing, China - 10th February 2015
By: goomymia
Hi mum,
We were about to explore Tiananmen today.
Checking the map carefully I found there is a stop named Tianmen West station on line 1.
With no doubt, we got to that station in about 18 mins.
I walked through exit C and there was an entrance to the National Center for the Performing Arts!
A short visit would be nice.
Love

NCPA, Beijing, China - 10th February 2015
By: goomymia
Hi mum,
Here I got to the hall of NCPA which is National Center for the Performing Arts. It's such a long name I even can't type them all into the 'Place'. Right, I prefer to call it National Theater.
Mia told us we are about to meet Amy who will join us for today.
But 20 mins' ve passsed, we still haven't seen her yet. We found a place to have a seat and play some games to kill time. Honesly it was quite boring. So we finally decided to take a look at the National Theater.
Haha Dolly calls it the Egg.
I can't understand before but after the short visit I know what does she mean. The Nationl Theater is indeed a giant egg. We moved to the east of the Egg and found that there is no different between each sides, any direction we take photos the building would looks like the same egg.
Love

The Great Hall of the People, Beijing, China - 10th February 2015
By: goomymia
Dear mum,
The photo below is us sitting in front of the Great Hall of the People.
I've heard we can always see that building on CCTV News 7:00pm every day night. It's a place where holds important meetings inside. All the leaders from other countries like Argentina, America, France...of course Trinidad and Tobago, they would come here if they visit China. Our prime minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar came here on February 25 last year.
Haha here we come!
Love

Hey mum,
The traditional architecture below is a gate called Zhengyangmen, men is gate in chinese. It used to be a gate in Beijing's historic city wall and was built in 1419 during the Ming Dynasty.
We will move closer to have a look at it later.
The building which looks like a box in the second photo is Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. Mia said it used to be a gate of the Forbidden City at that location long times ago.
Let us keep moving...
Love

Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China - 10th February 2015
By: goomymia
Hello mum,
After a long underpass we finally arrived at the Tiananmen Square.
You see the Zhengyangmen over there?
If we walk through that gate to south we will be on the Qianmen Street which is a quite famous commercial street in history, it still is right now. And then are the monument to the people's heroes and Tiananmen building. The last photo is National Museum.
Love
GiGi
