7、he capital of Japan,takes ten hours.It seemed like forever to me.I cuddled up on Wanda Lous lap and took a long nap.Finally,we arrived at Narita airport.Since we are not citizens of Japan,we were considered foreigners.Wanda Lou had to stand in line to show her passport.It gave me a chance to get my
8、first look at Japan.There were people walking everywhere in every direction.They bowed when they greeted each other,and they spoke in a language I didnt understand.Cali and Wanda Lou Level T78The first place we visited in Tokyo was the Imperial Palace.It is surrounded by a moat and a huge stone wall
9、.Tourists are not allowed inside because the royal family lives there.So,we walked around the outside and saw the beautiful gardens.That evening,we went shopping in the Ginza district,where there were tall buildings,modern stores,and a lot of neon signs.Wanda Lou bought a red kimono and a pink obi f
10、or herself.And a yellow silk scarf for me.I felt like one cool cat.Next,we took a monorail around the Tokyo Zoo.I saw a huge spotted leopard that looked like one of my relatives.He must have frightened Wanda Lou because she squeezed me.I meowed at him.He growled back.Imperial Palace(above)Spotted le
11、opard(right)Cali and Wanda Lou Level T910Though we liked Tokyo,it was time to leave.Wanda Lou bowed and said sayonara to our server,and we hopped on a plane to China.Beijing:City of ExtremesBeijing,the capital of China,is a large,old,and mysterious place.Wanda Lou was excited to see everything.Then,
12、in the wink of a cats eye,we were off to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.Tiananmen Square is one of the largest public meeting places in the worldbig enough for a million people to gather.Nearby is the Forbidden City where emperors and their families lived and ruled for 500 years.Now it is o
13、pen to visitors and thousands of them wander through the 9,999 rooms.“Mmm!Something smells wonderful,”said Wanda Lou as she sniffed the delicious aroma of tempura coming from a nearby restaurant.I heard her stomach growl as she looked at the menu posted outside.The menu was written in Japanese,but s
14、he could tell from the pictures that they served sushi made with squid,eel,and octopus.We went inside.Wanda Lou ate tuna with ivory chopsticks.She offered some to me.Tiananmen Gate is the main way people enter the Forbidden City.Cali and Wanda Lou Level T1112I waited and waited and tried not to be s
15、een,but a Miss Chang saw me and picked me up.I was frightened.I didnt want a new owner.And then,Miss Chang held me up and said,“Here she is.Heres your lost kitty.”Wanda Lou came running.She hugged and kissed me.I didnt even mind getting wet from her tears.Miss Chang felt so sorry for Wanda Lou that
16、she invited us to a Peking duck lunch.At lunch,she told us about some unusual Chinese customs.She said,in China,it is impolite to point the spout of a teapot at your guest.And its bad luck to drop your chopsticks or place them on top of your bowl.“Thats very interesting,”Wanda Lou said as she took h
17、er chopsticks off her bowl and was careful not to drop them.Some tourists were rude and shoved and pushed us,and I fell out of my carpetbag without Wanda Lou noticing.I tried to call her,but there were so many people and so much noise that she didnt hear me.I was alone under a pagoda in the Forbidde
18、n City.I was sad.I wondered whether Wanda Lou would ever find me.Cali and Wanda Lou Level T1314After lunch,Miss Chang took us to the Great Wall of China,which looks like a gigantic dragon winding 4,163 miles up and down mountains and across deserts.She told us it was built 2,000 years ago to defend
19、China from its enemies.As we walked along the wall,a little girl named Li saw me and said in English that was hard to understand,“That kitty is so cute.Can I hold her?”Wanda Lou said yes.Li carried me halfway up the hill.I liked Beijing.“Before leaving Beijing,”Miss Chang told Wanda Lou,“you must se
20、e the giant pandas.Perhaps Li would like to join us.”Li was delighted to go to the Beijing Zoo.So were we.We watched the roly-poly bears munch on bamboo,do somersaults,and wrestle with each other.I thought they would be fun to play with,but Wanda Lou said it was time to go.We said zai jian to Miss C
21、hang and boarded a plane for Bangkok,Thailand.Wow!Look at how long the Great Wall is.Pandas eat tons of bamboo.Cali and Wanda Lou Level T1516Bangkok:City of AngelsPeople in Thailand call Bangkok the “City of Angels”the same as Los Angeles.I thought it looked like a picture from a book of fairy tales
22、.The Grand Palace has golden spires,glittering mosaics,and mystical statues.There are statues of fat cats and skinny dogs and ferocious demons.Then there is the Reclining Buddha that is so huge he looks like a gold jet plane,lying on his side.The Emerald Buddha is much smaller but very beautiful.Hes
23、 carved out of one piece of jade.The Thai people love him so much that they dress him in different clothes according to the season.Getting around Bangkok was quite easy for Wanda Lou and me.There were taxis,buses,an air-conditioned sky train,and boats on the river.We took a tuk-tuk to Suan Lumpini.I
24、ts a park where people fly kites,jog,and lift weights.A tuk-tuk is a noisy three-wheeled taxi that swerves from left to right.It went so fast that Wanda Lou had to hold onto me so I wouldnt fall out.The Reclining Buddha is about the length of half a football field.Cali and Wanda Lou Level T1718In Su
25、an Lumpini,we went to the Snake Farm.We saw boas,pythons,and vipers.But it was the king cobras that scared me the most.They were so huge.I think they could swallow me down in one gulp.Actually,these snakes are very valuable because their venom is used for antivenom to cure snakebites.Some people in
26、Bangkok live in the modern part of the city.Others live on the river.Thats where we headed next.We boarded a long-tailed boat and sailed down a klong.People live in homes on the banks of the canal.We saw them washing their clothes,bathing their babies,cooking their mealseven watching television and
27、talking on cell phones.Vendors paddled their floating shops from home to home selling all sorts of things.They sold handwoven fabrics,tropical fruits like uglis that are smelly but sweet,and steaming bowls of noodle soup.The people were so friendly.I was deciding I liked Bangkok best of all when Wan
28、da Lou said,“Time to go home,Cali.”As the plane took off,we sadly said farewellsayonara to Japan,zai jian to China,and sawatdi to Thailand.Workers milk a king cobra for its venom.A klongCali and Wanda Lou Level T1920Theres No Place Like HomeFinally,we were at home in our little house,which is no Imp
