We have arrived in China! Definitely our favourite take away, so we just had to go and learn about some of their culture and activities..
We started the day with some crafts.. first we tried to make a paper koi carp. This didnt go down too well.. the kids really struggled, and found it quite boring.. But I loved it, and I’m very impressed with my fish! 🤣
We then tried our hand at making some chinese lanterns out of paper.. this was alot more appealing and nice and easy for the kids to do, almost unaided! Daisy insisted on making a tutorial video.. so here you go! Enjoy! 😊
For lunch we had a little tea party.. we talked about how tea grows, and how they make it into tea bags.. and then enjoyed some lovely tea while watching videos about The Giant Panda. 🐼
After our tea party, we looked at how put name might look if we came from China.. Because you cant do a direct translation, I found a website which gives you a Chinese name based on the meaning of your name, and the year you were born (basing it on the chinese zodiac).. I loved this, we did have a go at writing our names in chinese too, but it ended in tantrums 🤣 We also looked at our chinese zodiac signs, as a family we are Tiger, Rabbit, Monkey, Snake, Goat and Pig. 🐯🐰🐵🐍🐐🐷
For dinner we had, of course, our favourite, Chinese takeaway!
We went for Peking duck, wonton and ribs.. Special fried rice, beef chow main, sweet and sour chicken Hong king style and some chilli squid! It was as good as it always is! And I am so stuffed right now!!
(Have to give a shout out to our favourite chinese takeaway -in Milton Keynes – Open Kitchen in Fenny Stratford! You’re food is amazing!)
And in keeping with our world tour traditions.. we have taken some great photos of our travels around the wonderful and cultural China!.. Enjoy 😊🇨🇳
I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about our trip to China.. and we are so excited to see you tomorrow with the last day of our 7 day world tour.. and boy do we have some good plans for tomorrow.
