Day 3: We went to General Motors to learn a little
bit of what the car industry does and how it is involved with others in terms
of business. We were given a tour around the industry on how cars are
essentially made. It was fascinating to see these automobiles being assembled
and looking at the finishing products in display. They produced about 40 cars per
hour. We also learned that in China, because of the overpopulation, registered
licenses are only given out every month as almost a lottery ticket to the first
1,000 people. China does not want heavy traffic so this is a way to control
the amount of cars driven.
And let us not forget that that same day we went to a
school to donate instruments. Steve, Charles, Johan, Yeimy, Amanda, Camy, Maria, and I were chosen to assemble this drum set out of the box and its attachments. Kenney then saw us and helped us assemble it the correct way and tuned the drum set, being a drummer himself. We also had the privilege of having Mr. Marco Obama accompany us and join us for an evening dinner and cruise.
Beijing
Day
4: The city of Beijing
felt was traditional. The Summer Palace was the first place we visited upon
arrival with our new tour guide, Mark. It was an extraordinary view and I felt
that I was in the heart of China. I have seen some architecture through movies,
but seeing it in person was very astonishing. You can tell how many years of
hard work had been carved into this Summer Palace. So much detail was in these
paintings, that I could not resist taking pictures of everything. While taking
pictures I found this adorable baby with his parents.
