Prompt: Is China how you expected it to be? (6/7 & 8/2010)
Today was a long and exhausting day. But there were some good sides to the day. First I had to get up at 5:00am so I would have enough time to get ready to head over at the school on time. When I arrived at the school with my mom and dad, there were already a lot of kids at the school. While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, Principal Klocke was there and nice enough to bring us all donuts to snack on. As soon as everybody arrived, the teachers went over some things about what we would be doing today. When they were done talking, everyone said their good byes and we all boarded the bus to the airport. The drive there was good, hardly any traffic. We had to circle around the airport gates a few times to find a spot to get off. After we left the bus, we went to get our tickets at the ticket counter. The wait for the tickets did not take long. Soon it was finally time to move through the security gates. I was a little nervous because of all the stuff I had with me. But they did not ask me to stop. Then, we walked to our gate, which was a long walk from where we were. So we got to use the moving sidewalk underneath the airport road. When we all got to the gate, we still had three hours before our plane arrived. Most of the kids went and got food in the terminal while I stayed with the bags. A little while later, my group, the porcupines, played some Uno that I had brought with me. We played that for an hour and by then, more people started to arrive at the gate. The plane had finally arrived and it was almost time to board. We then got in line to board the plane. I could not believe that we were about to board the plane that wo
uld take us to China! 13 hours later, we arrived in Beijing, China. We got off the plane and walked through the airport to the outside. We found our bus and we drove off. China is not exactly what I thought it would be, because it reminded me of Chicago. There were lots of cars on the roads and tall skyscrapers everywhere. There were also new buildings being built all over the city, which I did not expect. When we got closer
to the hotel, I was surprised to see that they had a Pizza Hut, McDonalds, and a KFC. I did not think they would have fast food restraints, but those were big franchises. After dinner, we went to the market for some shopping and sight seeing. They had many different shops and food stands. One store had candy everywhere on the shelves. Another stand was selling fried insects to eat. China will be full of surprises and I can not wait to see what will be in store for me.
