I thought I would share a video of what we saw when we flew from Detroit to Tokyo. This is also practice for us for when we put the Gotcha video on here. We went to the Chinese Acrobatic Show tonight. It was very good. They are very talented. Still no Jet Lag. The other two couples here are amazed because they both have had jet lag pretty bad. It might hit us tomorrow. We'll see. We go to the Great Wall tomorrow!! I'm so excited. I know it is going to be beautiful. Hopefully the weather will be like it was today. It was very nice. It warmed up and really wasn't very cold. We are having pizza tonight for dinner. Shiyan thought it was a good idea not to try anything to different (food wise) for a day or two. So pizza it is. We did have rice for breakfast this morning. We had other things as well. A funny story. At breakfast, the only drink options weren't things Scott could drink so I tried to ask the waitress for bottled water. She finally brought a menu and I saw Coke and Sprite. So I ordered one. After we finished breakfast, the manager of the buffet came and talked to us and asked if it were common for Americans back in the US to drink sodas for breakfast. She had never seen that before. Also while we were in T-Square a woman came up to me and started talking and talking. Of course I didn't know what she was saying so finally Joy told me that she wanted my picture. She said that many Chinese have never seen foreigners before so she said that'll happen a lot. As we walked through the Forbidden City many people took our picture. We felt like we were famous. So that is all for now. Check the post below this one for pictures from T-Square.
