This is was our last day in China. We really didn’t want to
climb on a tour bus one more time, but we’re glad we did. The Temple of Heaven
was built the same time as Forbidden City as a place of worship for the
emperors. Today it is a great park where families and seniors come to play,
exercise, and enjoy fellowship.
The best part was watching groups engaged in spirited card
games, dominoes, Chinese version of chess. Others were exercising, dancing,
playing musical instruments. It was great to see the children enjoying
themselves.’’
Our favorite section is where the parents and grandparents
come with pieces of paper that describe their eligible son or daughter. We dubbed
this Matchmaker’s Corner. One enterprising family had a big poster; another had
a photo album. The young people are too busy with careers to find dating
partners and future spouses, so the parents are the matchmakers. No Match.com
for this crowd.
