Spring Break!! (part 2)

The second half of spring break is officially over - I am in school, wearing a suit. Unfortunately, we have parent-teacher conferences scheduled from 8am-7pm during my sister's visit. Let's see how many parents I get! (not many, I am guessing. It is a Chinese holiday, and many families will probably use this as an extension of spring break)

So what have the Allmens and Videtiches done so far?

- walk the neighborhood

- see the Sichuan opera

- take scooter rides

- shop at the bulk market

- shop on Jinli street

- eat Tibetan food

- go to Chinese mass on Easter

- take pictures of Mao at Tianfu Square

- watch street performers and drink tea at the People's Park

- eat Western food at Peter's

Today while we are at school, they will go to see the pandas and do some shopping at the antique market. Ironically, since it is a holiday, Rachel's Chinese co-teacher, Solomon, has the day off and will accompany them for part of the day.
