The kids' school, Dulwich College Suzhou, hosted a soccer tournament for years 4 and 5 for the Dulwich schools in China. Children both Dulwich Beijing and Dulwich Shanghai came to Suzhou for a two day tournament. Juliana participated in this tournament with her traveling team.The tournament was held on Friday and Saturday and Juliana volunteered to host one of the out of town students at our house on Friday night. Our guest was a lovely 10 year old girl named Hadley who lives with her family in Beijing where her mother is a diplomat at the U.S. Embassy. Hadley came home with Juliana after the soccer game, spent some time in the neighborhood, then had dinner with us and stayed the night.
The tournament continued on Saturday morning. Hadley and the other visiting student departed in the afternoon. Except for the very cold weather and the crushing defeat that Juliana's team suffered, it was good fun, Juliana played well, and we all very much enjoyed meeting her new friend from Beijing.
