One is of a park in Beijing, at 8am on a Monday morning. You wouldn't believe how active and social the elderly people in Beijing are, it really made me think they know something we don't. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Clj-embed id=\"1010\"/>\\r\n\\r\nHave a look at this hacky-sacking granny:\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/beijing_hackysack-f9ba293f72.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nAnd here's a Beijing circus act that completely freaked me out. How many motorcycles can you have whizzing around in a not-very-large round metal cage? \\r\n\\r\n\u003Clj-embed id=\"1011\"/>\\r\n\\r\nThe best thing about the circus were the two rows of women across the aisle from us. I don't think they'd seen many foreigners before, and staring at my mother and me had them in absolute stitches. They were staring so hard that I finally started taking photos of them, and that got them all cackling. Then my mum jumped when she suddenly felt something around her neck and realised one of the women had come up behind her to give her a hug. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/beijing_ladies-232bf48cc8.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nOn a publishing note, don't miss the \u003Ca href=\"http://rosihollinbeckthewritestuff.blogspot.com/2011/07/you-cant-eat-princess-review-and.html\">great interview over at The Write Stuff\u003C/a> with \u003Cb>Gillian Rogerson\u003C/b>, writer of my picture books, \u003Ci>You Can't Eat a Princess!\u003C/i> and \u003Ci>You Can't Scare a Princess!\u003C/i>. It's a real insight into our books, what she thought while she was writing them, and thoughts about getting into the business of picture books. I haven't heard yet how the Penguin edition of the first book is doing in America, but fingers crossed! Good news keeps trickling in.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://rosihollinbeckthewritestuff.blogspot.com/2011/07/you-cant-eat-princess-review-and.html\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/you_cant_scare_a_princess-f76b43642c.jpg\">\u003C/a>\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://rosihollinbeckthewritestuff.blogspot.com/2011/07/you-cant-eat-princess-review-and.html\">Click here for the interview with Gillian!\u003C/a>","2011-07-31T08:05:00.000Z","china-adventure-comic-part-3",[],"china adventure comic, part 3",1776628720482]
