There is a place called startrooper.  Startrooper is a laser tag place.  You can play many rounds.  There is this thing you have to  put on you and it is called gear, there are 5 things in the front, and there are 4 thing on the back.  You can not run in the game. Inside the game it is dark and there are dim lights. After about 10 minutes there is some fog that comes.  Before the game starts blue team can go in and hide. After 5 minutes the green team comes in.  There are big guns that that shoot lasers.  When you shoot it makes a shooting sound.  In the game they put music. At the place inside the game there are to place you can go into. At the end, they give you a piece a little paper it tells you how many people you shot, how many bullets you fired.   Hope you can have your birthday party there.

Thank you to all the people that came, and thank you for the presents.

On December 24th, my family and Leo's family went Clay Making!  It was in a hutong.   At the Clay Making you can do pottery, clay making, Chinese paper cutting, and scarf dying. I made a little basket that you can put things in, a flower, and a teddy bear. Leo made one birthday cake, a bear, and a flower...... Leo's little sister made one car, a birthday cake, and a bear......


That was a lot of fun.   If you want to go, let me know and we can go together.  The place is called 水归器, and the phone number is 6618 6482.

 
On Saturday, my family went to learn how to make Dim Sum.  The location is in the hutong (the traditional Chinese streets in Beijing) and the place's name is "Hutong."  It was very hard to find.  It is good that our driver's car is very small because the streets were very narrow.

The teacher is a young lady and she speaks good English.  The students came from France, Singapore and us from the USA.  The dishes  are  vegetable spring roll, shrimp dumpling and lotus leaf pack.

Afterwards we ate the dishes and they were very good!!
