Good bye, China!

China was the best trip ever. I think one of my favorite parts was the Silk Street Market. It was lots of fun bargaining with the vendors, and in the end, I got a really cool wallet for $5 and a pair of yellow high-tops for$15. It was also really funny watching my mom try to get away from a lady selling purses. Every time my mom said that she said that she didn't have enough money, the lady would grab her arm and start talking to her again. In the end, my mom bought the purse so we could get away. I also loved going to the great wall. I climbed up the wall with Sophia,Savana,and Samantha. Even though it was really hard, we still had lots of fun. I think the funniest part was when Corey attempted to run up the stairs, and tripped! It was so funny!!! China was really fun, but I'm glad tO be back home where it is easier to communicate, and more Importantly, where they have regular toilets! China was really fun, and i'll never forget it. -Alina
