Though Flat Mr. C. has enjoyed his time in China, he wanted some food that reminded him of home. After a long search for the Underground City of Beijing, with no luck, we all walked a long distance to find a Pizza Hut. The pizza was almost as good as home but certainly not as good as Pepe’s pizza of New Haven! In just a short time, Flat Mr. C and Mr. C. look to be enjoying a nice juicy hamburger in Chicago O’Hare airport.
Flat Mr. C and I enjoyed the high speed train from Jinan to Beijing Sunday morning. The train went speeds of up to 258 km/h. It was a great ride!
Flat Mr. C. has had a busy week and hasn’t had a moent to take a picture. Today, his last day at Shoutian Yingcai Primary School he took some time to make a video with the students. He has made many friends and is sad his visit to SYPS is coming to an end. Tomorrow it is on to Zibo and back to Jinan.
Mr. C
Pictures have been added to the Flat Mr. C., Olympic complex, and the Great Wall galleries. It has been a great to see all of these locations so far. On to Jinan tomorrow!
Zaijian,
Mr. Crawford
Q: How do you get across the moat at the Forbidden City and do people swim in the moat?
A: There is a large moat around the Forbidden City and bridges to cross it at the North, East, South, and West Gates. I don’t think any one would swim in the moat. I would be too scared myself because even today there are security guards watching everything that is going on. The Forbidden city itself was beautiful and extremely large. Check out the gallery photos to see what we saw.
Q: I want more pictures of Flat Mr. Crawford!
A: Flat Mr. Crawford has had quite an adventure so far. He has also gotten a few nicknames along the way. He enjoyed his time at the Ministry of Education, visited with the elephant statues, and saw everything he could at the Forbidden City. He has also picked up the nicknames of Flat Mr. C., Little Man, and The Little Guy. He is enjoying the trip tremendously so far! Check out more the photos from his adventures in the photo gallery.
