Beijing Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Chengdu Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 Dongyang Day 9 Day 10 Hangzhou Day 11 Day 12 Day 13 Day 14 Day 15 Photo Gallery	Beijing - Day 1 March 26th Yesterday we came in at 2:30 pm Beijing time, but it really was 11:30 pm Portland time. We went across the International Date Line, so it was actually still the 24th in Portland when we entered Beijing. I am very tired. The time difference here is 9 hours ahead of Portland. Today, Mom, Mary and I took a rickshaw ride around the neighborhood.  I saw a quadrangle, which is a 4-sided house with a court yard in the middle. We went to my friend Susan's house for dinner with her family. Her mother-in-law cooked dinner while Susan's father-in-law taught us a traditional Chinese game called Ma jiang, a matching game similar to dominoes. It was a little hard to understand the rules because he only spoke Chinese. Susan just adopted a little girl named Ying Ying. She is 14 months old and so cute! She has a BIG appetite.
