Last night we landed in Shanghai. This 2000 year-old city is in the central eastern part of China. It is actually considered one of the youngest cities in the country! It is very hot here now, 105 degrees. In the winter, though, the weather is near freezing. Today I learned so much about China! We visited one of Shanghai's most famous temples. It is called the Jade Buddha Temple. A temple is a religious building, like a church. The Jade Buddha Temple is used by people who practice Buddhism. Buddhism is the largest religion in China, but not the oldest. Taoism is the oldest. The temple was built in 1918 and there are two Buddhas made of Jade!!! Jade is the most popular stone in China. It is green and smooth, and when you hold it in your hand, it is cool. In street markets, you can find many things made out of jade, such as jewelry and statues. Today, I bought a beautiful necklace made out of jade. It had a tiger carved on it. I got it because I was born in 1998, the year of the tiger. The tiger is one of the 12 animals that go with the 12-year Chinese calendar. I had to laugh because my mom found out she was born in the year of the pig! At the market, I also bought a pink silk shirt. The Chinese have been making silk for thousands of years. I'm getting tired, so I'm going to sign off for today. Tomorrow we're taking a cruise down the Yangtze River. I can't wait! In the last paragraph, the word "sign off" means I. disconnect. II. do again. III. correct. IV. start. V. lose.
