parker It was our second day in Chongqing today. Today we went to visit Fuling, where Payton spent her first 13 months. It was a long car ride. When we got there we asked if we could see the gate keeper because Payton really liked him when she was a baby. He remembered her, and seemed very glad to see her. After that the director took us to the old orphanage.Now it is a kindergarden school. We then took the director back to the new orphanage and when we were leaving we saw the gatekeeper again. We asked him some questions about Payton but I will let Payton tell that part of the story. He said he went for a walk in hopes that he would see Payton again. We then headed back to Chongqing and ... read more

He didn't rule all of China, but a small part of China. An empror ruled all of China. There is a difference. We saw some figures on how the people lived. The rich people made medicine and gave free education to the kids. They also helped them with life, they gave them money too. Also during world war 2 people had burried porcelain and other precious belongings ... read more
