Still Jessica here.. I don't know about the rest of you reading but as I am looking at the places Ty and Christian are visiting I was curious about the history of these locations so I hope you don't mind if I share just what significance of these places are.. as well as the pictures of Ty and Christian.
Tiananmen Square- was the location of 7 weeks of protests in 1989 after the death of Hu Yaobang. The government eventually ended the protests by bringing an army complete with tanks and opened live fire on all protestors in the square. The exact number of deaths isn't known but they estimate somewhere between 1,000-3,000 people.
"Our tour Guide George ordered all the food for us. There was one dish with honey duck. Ty wasn't too sure about it but it was really good. All the food was. The couple with us our in our group. They are adopting a little boy that is 14 months old. It's their first child. They are Toma and GeeMei. They are really nice." -Christian
