I visited Kite Square in Weifang City. Weifang is the World's Kite Capital. The International Kite Festival will be held April 19-20 this year. People from all over the world will be coming here that weekend. This is a big deal for the local people here (They have a main river that runs through the city that has been dry because of construction in the riverbed. I just learned the other day that they are going to fill the river for the Kite Festival and then empty it again so they can finish their work). Wow! I'll make sure and get pictures. Sometime this month I'm going to see how they make the kites and I can't wait to see all the different kinds of kites in the air. I've seen quite a few already and will be excited to see them all. In the background, you can see Weifang City. Notice the cranes on top of the buildings...it seems like all of China is underconstruction....at least it seems that way in all the cities I've been too.
....Oh my goodness....I can actually access my blog!!!! I can't believe it! This is the first time I've been able to do that since I've been here! Haha! I tell ya, I get surprises all the time here. I wonder how long I'll be able to access it....hmmm....I guess we'll wait and see.
