Breakie in shanghai
These were yummy,a kind of bread with either herbs or granules of sugar on top.We walked just down the road from our hotel and bought these that were being cooked on the side of the road for about 5 cents each.there was lots of food to choose from and all the locals seemed to be lining up for it all but Tone said safe to just stick with these.he had tried them an yes they were yummy.



















more of Josh's adoring fans.these girls were so beautiful looking and they loved him.we were eating ice cream in Haagen Daas and when they saw him they leapt from their seats and gooed and gaahed and photographed him till we left.(for the record Haagen Daas is never gonna beat Baskin Robbins...which they had in Beijing ... looove Baskin Robbins!!)





















so China !!

Olympic day

On the 8th of the 8th 2008 we are looking forward to getting settled in front of the TV to watch the opening ceremony..getting our dim sims and spring rolls organised...although the chinese dont actually eat this kind of food...hee.
the boys had free dress to celebrate the olympics and they were all decked out in their chinese stuff...even Josh had his "great wall of china" t-shirt on.
Ammon thought i said we were going to china...not simply wearing our China t-shirt.
Oh and check out Josh all dressed up as the water sports mascot.We had some photos taken of him in Qindao which is the city hosting the sailing etc..thought it appropriate he dress up as this little character being the sailing family that we are and the fact that we were staying in Qindao...i love those little mascots they are so cute...not as cute as Josh though.
so come on aussies and hoping for a safe and peaceful olympics.

Today we played at the park,fed the seagulls and made castles in the sand of course..while Miriam and i could chat and solve the problems of the world and i could feel intellectual...hee!
