CRYSTAL AND ISABEL This is a weblog for Crystal Sun Zhao and Isabel Sun Zhao. As parents, we'd like to keep the records for them as much as we can.

We attent American School’s, International Day. American School is Sophie’s school. All the kids had a great time.

We went to Xiamen with Dandan’s family. In the first a couple of days, we stayed at 厦门鼓浪屿. It’s a small island, taking 1 to 2 hours to walk around the whole island. Lots of tourists and many delicious local food.

Next, we drove the car to 永定 to visit 福建土楼. These old buildings are amazing. They were totally made by locally available cheap materials by people with no money hundreds of years ago and strong enough to hold a big family with a few hundreds of people in one building. One building not only surivived the earthquake, the broken parts healed back automatically after some time because of the materials used for the building. That’s truely un-believable.
