Lots of New Friends

Heidi and Ben continue to be of much interest, frequently being asked or simply just pulled into pictures, mostly with children. While most people on the streets of Shanghai and Beijing dont look twice at us (with the exception of young girls looking at Heidi), when we are at the bigger tourist attractions Ben and Heidi seem to get a lot more attention.

Tony told us that a lot of Chinese people travel from all over China to visit Tianen Men Square, The Forbidden City and The Summer Garden, sometimes fulfilling a lifetime dream in doing so. Hailing from the far reaches of China, some of these people have not seen many foreigners. Ben and Heidi have been gracious in helping them bring back a souvenir and it is fun to think about how many family vacation albums will include pictures of our kids alongside the other attractions.
