Hey mum,

Today Mia took me and GiGi to a language school. The class was literally so boring...we almost fell asleep. When I was about to have fun with GiGi, 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! Jenga time!

Hey mum,

We just came back home from the language school. Simão III was being utterly excited and he said we got a package. It seems heavy, we can't wait to open it. We saw a tail came out frist, someone inside said something sounds like sorry... and then a pair of big ears came out. After 10 minutes, Eliott showed up! He is super adorable and very polite. We will definitely have so much fun together!

Here we came to a local university.
The campus was a bit empty because of the holiday.

Aha, this one hasn't been finished yet. Let me have a look..
..ummm..I guess it's gonna be a dorm building. You see those balconies up there?

We ordered a bowl of soup for starter.

I was told a voyager would come visit us before Spring Festival and we can celebrate together. 
Here he arrived today! His name is MooseS from Finland.
He said Finland's already turned to be a white world just like the picture in postcard.
I'm so looking forward to a snow in Beijing....

Wow those bicycles are....ummmm...seriously I can't ride bicycle with my crab claws.
I know it's sports time but...how about swimming? Let's go to the swimming pool!

Hey mum,

I finally agreed to ride bicycle, I mean I had to because Mia was going to show us a kind of snack. So we came to a shopping mall. The name of this kind of snack is Takoyaki. Haha I knew it originally from Japan, like Amigurami...ummm..or Amigurumi. By the way Mia is learning how to crochet, I can see it's a bit hard for her. Takoyaki time!

A voyager from Germany arrived today!
His name is Anton, a lovely little bear.

Hey 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.

Hey 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.

Hey 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 Germany, they would come here if they visit China. Our Chancellor Angela Merkel came here on July7 last year.
Haha here we come!

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...

Hey mum,

After a long path underground 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.
