Day Three Blogging (Daphne Wang Style)
Haylo, this is Daphne Wang (Not Daphne Kan, who failed at blogposting last time *HUGE SMILE*).
Today, we went to the Great Wall of China and walked up the SUPER SUPER SUPER steep slope. I am NOT spastic, just so you know (this is in respond to Daphne Kan who is beside me commenting on EVERYTHING I say). Now, she failed majorly at climbing because of her knee. So did Jessica Shen. And our tour guide Lindsay. They all FAILED. Then again, Lindsay kind of had to stay back with Daphne Kan, but that's really just her excuse. Daphne Kan is really failing right now; her commentary really doesn't help. I don't know what the others did, but I know I bought a pair, yes a pair, of seals. Yes, seals. I carved the names of my mom and dad in those seals. Now, this is not animal cruelty. Those were the chinese seals for when you dip them in ink and then press them on the paper, your names show up! (or whatever you carved in them).
Next, we went to see some awesome pot making factory (the pots were called Cloisonne) and witnessed the seven steps of making Cloisonne. These are traditional enamelware that originated in BeiJing (Are you getting bored? Well, DONT). I made two friends from the gift shop and got their QQs (it's like facebook and AIM and MSN). It was funny because one of them was the first to speak English to me since I've been to China. That in itself was AWESOME. Daphne Kan is criticising me. She was also there and also made friends with those people. We ate lunch right upstairs from the place of the pottery stuff. There, I pretended to be drinking alcohol and Mr. Zhou was amazed at the fact that I was drinking alcohol and proceeded to ask, "Why doesn't our table have alcohol?", while Jonathon (Joonathon- this was me making a typing mistake (which Kan calls a typing FAIL)) was amazed that I was drinking alcohol at all. I think Lindsay put me up to it. Then again, I don't remember. It was fun though. *heart*
Next, we went to the Changling Tomb of the Ming Tombs. Now, besides the awesome factor of the fact that the emperor literally had his body buried in a hill, I got a complete Americanized makeover. Yes, in the Changling Tomb place. I had to wear purple. Purple. Purple. I hate purple, usually. But I actually liked this outfit I was wearing, which was Giselle's. Besides that factor of getting chased then stripped.... of my jacket, the tomb was amazing. It's the biggest of the multiple tombs.
We got to hear Lizzie's singing from 5th grade. Just thought I'd throw that out there. It was hilarious. ^-^
Now, last but not least, Daphne Kan is annoying me by seriously taking the phrase "looking over your shoulder" too far and literally resting her head near my shoulder and looking at the computer. No, that's not what I wanted to say. The last thing we did so far (we're going to do some activity after this blogging thingamabobber for tomorrow when we visit a high school ) was eat Peking duck (famous in BEIJING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(this represents the great wall of China!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). It was good.

P.S.
Doesn't this blog NOT fail? I mean compare it to Daphne Kan's blogging skills. Mine. PWNS. Daphne. Kan's.
P.p.s.
Daphne Kan needs to learn the idea of a personal bubble.
P.p.p.s.
I have challenged Joonaaaathooooon (sounded like Junaaaaathoooon) to a competition of some sort. Not sure what though.
P.p.p.p.s.
I bought 4 panda hats with Kan for 60 dollars! in China money! IN TOTAL! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 15 bucks each. The lady originally was like 25 bucks! Then Joonaaathooon tried to be helpful and said 40 for 2. That. was. FAIL! Because we got it for 15 DOLLARS EACH!!!!!!! YEAH! Because I wanted to WALK AWAY! (like Kelley Clarkson's song, ya know? I know the song's old. Don't judge.) And the lady at last said 30 for 2! YEAH! LOOK AT OUR HAGGLING SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLS)
