Let the vacation begin

Today at 9 am we went to the canteen (kitchen) and helped make moon cakes. We weren't really much help, but it was fun! We even got cool outfits.

Today is the beginning of our vacation!! We are so excited. Me and Britta went to the store to get some snacks for the drive. We had our backpacks on so the people at the front of the store made us put them in a bag and lock it to make sure we didn't steel anything.

We have an 8 hour drive to get there and we are going at night so we got a sleeper bus. It's a bus that has beds in it. At first we were really excited! We said "These are so cool!" "I can lay or sit!" "There is so much room!" 

Me and Emily: 

But then... The bus kept stopping and picking people up. Pretty soon there were no more beds and we were still picking people up. The bus driver layed pads in the walk way for all the people. We were surrounded by people. 

This is how Miranda feels about it

And Emily over there, just minding her own business

So many people everywhere! Yes, there is a man laying in between us. I gave him my pillow. 

Amanda was squished by a guy and it was uncomfortable for both of them so I switched him spots so I was in the middle of the isle the whole ride.
