Jimmy's Update - Answers to some questions...




Question #6 - What do kids my age do in there free time?

 

     Kids do lots of stuff like play with a Chinese hacky sack, and go to the park like us but in the morning it is very different.  In the morning people wake up and go to a park or field with a lot of people and they either do yoga, play there version of the flute or violin, play with ribbons, play cards, chat, sing karaoke, and many more. We saw a ton of people exercising. Not only kids but also parents participate in these fun activities. Fun Facts = At the park we went to there were more adults then Children.


 

 

Question #1 - How does the Chinese government compare to ours?

 

     The Chinese government isn’t a Democracy it is a Communist country. This means the whole country is run by one person unlike the United States is governed by the people. Another way is in China they have a Chairman we have a president. Lastly the Chairman only gets out of office if he is assassinated or is voted out but in the United States we change our president every 4 years unless he get’s voted in again. Fun Facts = The Last Chairmen in China was Chairmen Mao

·      1st stop = Beijing…………17.4 Million

·      2nd stop = Nanchang……3,790,000

·      3rd stop = Guangzhou…...7,607, 200

Fun facts = The population of China is 1,330,044,608
