"Can't Buy Me Love"

Sunday, June 29 - Alisa, Donna, Zach, Kelly, and Zhaleh decided to go on a sort of blind adventure by taking some of the other buses that they don't usually go on - just to see where they end up.

"The first bus we took was 425, which we took to a site full of small stores and a strip mall."

"We decided to stop at a place called "Party Work", where we purchased some cookies and drinks."
 
 
 
The next bus we took was 695, which we took to a park we saw from the inside the bus.
"As you can see we got our exercise."
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
End of the day.

Second Sino- Japanese War museum.
Melody went with some lab mates to the war museum and to the Marco Polo bridge (part of the Summer Palace).

The Marco Polo bridge, where in 1937 the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident" occurred, marking the beginning of a full scale war between China and Japan.

There are between 482 and 496 lions and they're all different. Most are from the ming of the qing dynasty, although some are from the yuan dynasty, or even the kin dynasty.

After the bridge: to the yuan ming yuan garden for the lotus festival
very pretty~ hen piao liang as they say in chinese
more pictures of the garden
They then took a row boat out on to the river, there are some people from Melody's lab (li fei, xiao qing, ma jian, and mo fanyang)
