Even though we were on holiday, We had some school work to do. Yes we took work on our holiday. So we too today off and let Nikki, Marco and Children go to the Beijing Zoo by themselves today. There were some great stories when they came back.
On the way to the Zoo, they passed the Silk Market to pick up Marco's suits that he had tailor made and a carving that I had ordered. Then they stopped a taxi, which I must say is hard to stop when they see it is foreigners and Nikki had to wave Y100 note for one to stop. When about to get into the taxi a woman came up and tried to sell Nikki some Louis Vuitton purses. Nikki wasn't interested so just kept getting into the taxi and tried to close the door. The lady held onto the door and then threw in all the purses, 7 of them, onto her lap. (I had forgotten to tell Nikki of this scam) She then ordered Y100 for them. I had said to Nikki that I would have thrown them out again but having the children in the car and the driver getting a bit confused she quickly gave the woman the Y100.
They then enjoyed the zoo and seeing the pandas.
They then went out to Da Dong Duck restaurant for supper ...
...and after a long day in the hotel room, we managed to go and buy Burger King for supper.
