KARAOKE IN BEIJING
... we finally arrived. Remember I had just ended my day singing to my Chinese students. So naturally I had a need to do more singing! But it turned out to be a fun evening with new and delightful friends. I managed to sing my favourite ABBA song Dancing Queen with Kyle and did a solo number.

The 1.3 billion Chinese & Individual Encounters
... in the coming weeks.
Our next stop is the imperial garden called Beihai Park. Since Harvey & I have dated, (that would be 44 years ago!) we have enjoyed walking around parks and after the overwhelming crowds of the day, it seems like a natural place to chill out so to speak. Here we find breathing room and chance encounters with individuals that open a window into Chinese culture. We hear
