  Yuyuantan Park, Beijing, China
Saturday, October 8, 2011

Our first day was slow and tiring. We took a leisurely walk through Yuyuantan Park near Aunt Yun's apartment.  It was filled with the wide variety of exercise activities pursued by the retired.  Kaela and Hsing-ay briefly joined in the ballroom dancing.  Later Kaela tried the streamers.

Almost all day we fought to stay awake.  We had a nice afternoon meal at our relative’s favorite local restaurant.  We had Peking Duck, spicy bullfrog, bean curd, pea cake, and green vegetable (the Chinese frequently do not give a good translation for their green vegetables).  It was also very good to spend time with Hsing-ay’s aunt and uncle.

Clearly it is very hard for a five-year-old to adjust to a completely inverse time zone.  We’re hoping that today will go much better.  It’s very nice that the first few days are very low key.
