This morning the girls woke up at 3:00am and started playing. I told them they had to try to sleep longer, but they were not too happy with me. Eventually we all got up around 5:30. The morning went really well and we all felt great, but by lunch time we were all feeling the time change. We had shortish naps and the kids went to bed before 7:00. Poor Yasmin was so tired she could hardly eat her supper.
With the early start, our school work was done early and we went off for a walk and then to the shopping centre. On our walk we saw the bird's nest from the Olympics. It looks quite strange up close.
At the shopping centre we found a map of Beijing and then made our way through the grocery store. We bought some noodles that had no English writting on them. The picture looked good. It was one of those that you just add water to. We later enjoyed them for lunch. The rest of the store was strange in many ways as well. They had fish heads and silk worms, although we didn't buy any. We didn't find any cheese or sandwich meats, so we may just go out for lunch tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, I think we will try the subway for a trip to the Forbidden City and Tianamen Square. We think we found oursleves on the map and we've got our address written out in Chinese characters so we should be okay.
