I am now preparing for finals in my oral English classes. The students are wonderful. I need to take a class picture next week.
The tour of Beijing was cold and exciting. We visited the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, Badaling section of the Great Wall, a Jade factory, a cloisonne factory, Forbidden City, Tian'anmen Square, the Silk Market, had a Peking Duck Dinner, and saw an acrobat performance. It was an exciting weekend.
We saw the Peking Opera performers applying make-up. The make-up was dramatic.
