Summary

Today we learned about Ancient China. China is located inthe north eastern quadrant. During ancient times their religion used oracle bones, worshiped many gods, and worshipped their ancestors. I cannot believe that they invented icecream. If I go there I want to visit the Great Wall of China. One thing I didn't know is that women used to bind their feet. Ouch! Wow! China sure is cool!
