Confucius Temple

Yesterday, we woke up around 6:30, got dressed, and went to eat.

After breakfast, we went to the grocery store, bought will some more soy milk, and went back to the hotel. At the hotel, we met Chris, who took us to the Confucius temple

The Confucius temple was a place were peasants could go to school. In the early 1900's, Chair man Mao was a principle of the school and graded the homework and gave out lectures and tests.

The artwork there was similar to other temples, and quite interesting. The walls were old Chinese architecture (that recently must have been refurbished). The roof looked as if it was cut from the Forbidden City. BUT-there was no pagoda. In the front lawn, there was a Chinese fish pond. Will liked the fish because they looked yummy.

After the Confucius temple, we went back to the hotel, and Dad and Will took a
nap. After the nap, we went across the bridge (to the main land) to explore. There
were some interesting foods (but nothing I will ever eat. There was another electronics market near by but the only thing they seemed to have were items for building and customizing your own cell phone. We left the market, ate at McDonalds, and went back to the hotel and then went to bed.

I woke up early, and am writing an entry for the blog. (Not entrée.)

More later,

Jacob
