On Christmas Day, we woke up late, missing the Christmas service… We walked around the Houhai area and went to an opera concert at the National Performing Arts Center with Kwun at night.

On Christmas Eve, we tried to go to a service before the dinner with your friends, but the church was so full that there was no way for us to get in. Dinner was a a restaurant called "Face", but it turns out you didn't really know anyone aside from Charlene and her bf. And, most people left right after dinner since Christmas isn't a public holiday in China.

I made the last-minute decision to go visit you in Beijing because my AZ project needed me to take some vacation days in December.

I went to the Christ Church for sunday service today. It's a very famous church because George Washington, Benejamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, and important figures in American history attended that church. After that, I hit all of the patriotic sites as I walked around Philadelphia (i.e. Liberty Bell, First Bank of the United States, Independence Hall, Philly City Hall, etc.) At night, my manager took me to the Longwood Gardens.
