Connor: Temple of Heaven and Pearl Market


Hey everybody! Connor here. Today was pretty awesome. We started the day by taking a trip to the Temple of Heaven. We played some Frisbee and drew a lot of attention, which was great. My favorite segment of the day came next with our visit to the Pearl Market, home of everything imaginable in fake form! I came back to the hotel with a Rolex watch, a pair of Oakley’s, a big brass dragon statue and a crazy-insanely-awesome in every-way-imaginable laser pointer, all of that for a total cost of $130 US haha. How is that for a deal? Later, we took the plane to Chengdu where we are now staying in the Zenec hotel!

Word of the day was “Diabolical.”

Quote of the day was “Your teacher [Erik] never stop talking and very loud” -Chinese person on plane (from Beijing to Chengdu).

  3. Connor, I can't believe you found "fake" Oakley's. Hilarious! I've been praying for good sleep and for you all to know God in a new and awesome way. Look forward to hearing more.
