Shooby Plays Tour-guide

Shooby was going home to see her folks in the States! She only got to do this once in two years. She had been living in Singapore for more than ten years.

She was very excited this trip home, because she was bringing Bao-er, and Bao-yi with her. The sisters had decided to visit Shooby's home town. Shooby's family and friends were very warm towards Bao-er and Bao-yi. The sisters were overwhelmed by their generous hospitality.

Shooby decided to show Bao-er and Bao-yi some other places in the States besides her home town. She was going to show them Jersey City. Bao-er and Bao-yi were excited! They had heard a lot about this place. They had done some homework on the net, and had singled out some places they would not want to miss visiting.

Bao-yi loved museums. She had picked out a couple which she would like to visit. Bao-er could not wait to catch a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty. Shooby said it would be possible to pay this famous lady a visit, if they went on a ferry. The trio was also very excited about going to India Square! Singapore (where Bao-er and Bao-yi were from) food is a blend of Chinese, Malay, and Indian food. The sisters could hardly believe they could catch a taste of home right there in Jersey City - half way around the world! The three girls could hardly contain their excitement as Shooby drove towards Jersey City, envisioning the many places of interest they would get to visit.

The trio checked into their hotel, and looked forward to a few days of fun, exploring the city!
