Being aninal lovers, we want to adopt all of orphan dogs we see during our travels.  They are very cute!!!  Too bad we can't take them home because we do not have room at our house and they cannot go on the airplane.   
Here is a picture of our first dog we like.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!  Can you help by suggesting a name for this dog?????  We will use the best name of all the suggestions we receive.
Thank you for helping us help these dogs.  You are our fellow dog rescuers.

It is New Year's day in Cambodia.  We went to this temple called Watt Phnom.  The National Geographic Traveler book says it is "where you may feed mischievous monkeys."

At Watt Phnom we saw many birds in cages.  People pay money to  let the birds be free!  Mom explained to me that Buddists believe it is good to let the birds go free.  It brings you good luck.  Some children were holding the bird cages.  They were selling to us and to us people.

At the temple you can go in and pay respect to the Buddha.  A lot of people were putting money on the Buddha statutes.  At the back some musicians were playing music for all the Buddhas.

There were a lot of people who were giving food to the Buddha.  Some people were giving some meat like rosted pigs, cooked chicken, rosted baby pigs, and fruit.  In China the Buddhas do not eat meat. 
P.S ( They do eat fruit.)

However, at the Watt Phnom, they do not have the mischievors monkeys.  I was not very happy because I did not feed the mischievous monkeys. 


(I will put pictures on when I come back from Cambodia)

All of the people who went to the walkathon raised more then 20,000 RMB

On Sunday morning, my family went to a park over by my Dad's work.

The 1st thing we did is running.
The 2nd thing we did is jumping jacks. 
And the 3rd thing is walking.

There is this kid in an orphanage that needs surgery and it is 10,000 RMB for surgery so we are doing this walkathon to raise money.

So I told my Mom and Dad that I will give them each 2 RMB for every circle they walk.  My Mom is giving 500 RMB to both me and my dad.  And my Dad said he would give 1,000 to both me and my mom.

I raised 1,500 RMB.
My Mom raised 1,010 RMB.
My Dad raised 2,510 RMB.

I hope the boy can get his surgery soon and be healthy.

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!!

The time I was in Thailand, I went to an elephant camp.  In the beginning I watched a couple of elephant shows.  They were soccer, painting, and basketball. The elephants marched by putting the tails in the trunks of the elephants in front of them.  They were walking in circles.  The elephant also painted well.  One big elephant painted a picture that had some flowers, trees in the forest, some birds and a lot of grass.

When they played soccer, they were so cute!!  They were very fast runners.  A lot of the same elephants scored and they were so happy!! 

When they played basketball, they were so cute too!! They used their trunks to put the ball into the net.

When Mom and Dad and I were riding the elephant in the woods, the elephant wanted bananas and was very funny because when they saw a stand that sells bananas they would want some. They would not walk unless you bought bananas. 

When we took a picture with them after, they would want money.  One elephant held me and Mom with his trunk until we put money in his trunk.  Or they would follow you.  And they like dollars.

        One day my dad and  I went to Lady Street and  we bought a shrimp.  We asked the lady: "Does this shrimp eat fish, because if it does we can put it in a different tank?" 
      The lady said:" no, and you can put it with the  fish."  So we bought the shrimp and when we got back to the house we put the shrimp into the fishtank. 
      After one day and one night in the morning I saw the shrimp was  eating a fish.  It was very gross.  I let the shrimp stayed in the fishtank because Dad said it would not eat big fish and it would only eat small fish.  But the number of fish kept decreasing.  One day mom saw the shrimp chasing after the other fish.  One fish was hiding behind the filter.  All the fish were scared.   So we put the shrimp into a different fishtank, but the shrimp would not eat anything else. 
      One day in the morning there was a fish that died and we gave the dead fish to the shrimp.  The shrimp ate part of it.  Later the shrimp died.
     We learned 3 lessons:
  Lesson 1. Do not trust the lady who sells pet fish.
  Lesson 2. Do not put the shrimp with the fish.
  Lesson 3. Do not feed the shrimp with a dead fish.
