October 20

Today started out much better. To my great happiness, I did not break another chair and we managed to not start up another international incidence.

Today, we got adventurous and went out exploring on our own. We got a card written out with our destination and our return address written on it. Then we took out for the Beijing Zoo. It was an OK zoo, but it was very beautiful as a park. We enjoyed this. Then, although wondering if we'd make it back, we returned to our hotel.

From there we went back to Pizza Hut to eat. At Pizza Hut, we met some of our travel group who had just arrived. This meeting was funny. Because, at first, I heard someone call me out by name and then Karen. This threw us off at first. Because we were wondering who in China would possibly know us. We enjoyed chit-chatting with them and returned to our hotel and relaxed the remainder of the evening.

We also fell in love with Chinese schoolchildren. Yesterday at the museum and today at the Zoo, every group of them stopped us to say hello. It was really cute.
