Children

The Chinese Children are gorgeous, just like all Asian children. They look like dolls!

I do find it rather funny how in winter the children are all rugged up that they could not possibly move in the clothing, yet they have this little open slit over their bottom for going to the toilet. I'm still trying to find out what happens with nappies.

You can see and feel the adoration of children. Unlike our culture, grandparents are often the carers of the children whilst the parents are working.

As babies they are very cute, well dressed and well cared for. The little girls are often dressed up with pretty hairstyles or adornments. They love to run up to you and say "hello" and then run back to their parents giggling. It is really very cute. They learn English now from such a young age. And are much more confident than their parents approaching a foreigner.

In Tai'an, there are few English speakers. Those that do speak only speak a little bit or are too embarrassed to try and speak English.
