Blog From Molly’s Journal on Day 4 of the China Trip
We got to go to a school and teach the kids English today. Most of them in our class were 13 years old. One of them said that their favorite singer was Michael Jackson. (My dad then tried to practice his moon walk and it made the kids laugh.) My favorite part was getting to jump rope with them. Ashley, Nicholas, Molly, Mr. Jason and my dad all jumped rope. Even Sarah did too.
After the school we went and walked on the bridge that separates the two countries. During the war MacArthur wanted to march into China and take over. President Truman not wanting that to happen gave the orders and had the bridge blown up. Because of that MacArthur could not enter China at that location. After we walked on the bridge we got on a boat and saw North Korea really close up. Then we took a bus and went back to Dalian and cleaned up. When we were all clean we ate supper with the General Manager of the hotel. (By the way we had to walk from the downtown bus station. It was a long cold walk.)
