So has anybody ever heard of this thing called International Children’s Day? Well neither have I; you are not alone. Anyways, it is a pretty big deal here in China.
Children’s day is celebrated all throughout China (and apparently the rest of the world as well) on June 1st. We celebrated a little early since June 1st falls on a Sunday this year. We had all kinds of activities for the kids (water balloons, riding cars, obstacle courses, face painting, and a big blowup bouncing thing. At the end of the day, they all got to eat McDonalad’s. They LOVED it. All the children were completely quiet as they ate their first ever McDonalds meal. Just picture all these cute little Asian kids eating French fries with expressions of shear delight (and ketchup) plastered all over their faces…
There were a lot of guests here from the US to help us celebrate, some here for a short time, others living in different parts of China . Met some cool people, but they have all returned home now, and things are very quiet around here. Hmmm…let me rephrase that, things are quiet around here except for 6am when all the kids wake up and are yelling. Yes, that would be more accurate.
And now I am off to take more pictures and shoot video because, well…that is what I do!
