HELLO ALL,

 WELL A FREE DAY TODAY…YAH!!!!. WELL WE WENT EXPLORING TODAY. ME AND MY MOM HIT THE ROAD. YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE HERE TO REALLY GET THE EFFECTS. YOU DO NOT SEE CHINESE PEOPLE OUT ON THE STREETS GETTING PUSHED IN A WHEELCHAIR. THAT IS A STRANGE THING TO THE CHINESE PEOPLE. THEIR STREETS OR SIDEWALKS ARE NOT HANDICAPED FRIENDLY. YOU HAVE  THIS SIDE STREET AND YOU HAVE ALL THESE MOPEDS, AND BYCYCLES WITH CARRIGAGES FOR CARRYING PEOPLE AND THEN THERE IS US. (WITH A WHEELCHAIR) ALL TRAFFIC CARS AND PEOPLE GO AT THE SAME TIME ALL THEY DO IS BLOW THEIR HORNS AND YOU BETTER WATCH OUT. IT IS AMAZING HOW THE TRAFFIC FLOWS BUT IT WORKS. WE GET SO MANY STARES ALL THE TIME. WE GOT INTO ONE STORE THEY CALL THE T-MART. EVERYTHING IS BUILT UP NOT OUT OVER HERE. THIS STORE HAS THREE LEVELS BUT YOU GET TO THE LEVELS BY EXCALATOR. IT IS SO STRANGE. WE DID NOT TACKLE THE ESCALATOR. THE PEOPLE ARE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL THEY JUST STARE AT US. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET ME TO GO TO HOOTER’S FOR BRUNCH ON SUNDAY BUT WE CAN NOT FINE TRANSPORTATION TO CARRY ME THERE. YES THEY HAVE A HOOTER’S IN CHINA…ALL OF THE AMERICAN’S AND THE TWO FAMILIES FROM ENGLAND ARE GOING. I THINK WE WILL PASS DUE TO THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM. WE HAD A GOOD DAY TODAY STROLLING THE STREETS OF CHINA. MY MOM DID GOOD SHE DID NOT GET ME RAN OVER. WE COULD ONLY GET IN THE T-MART FOR ALL THE STORES HAVE STEPS AND NO HANDICAP ACCESS SO WE DID A LOT OF WINDOW LOOKING BUT, IT WAS NICE. WILL UPDATE YOU TOMORROW GOOD NIGHT
