I was surprised to find out that paper was invented in China.
Really? That's surprising. They did invent gun power too. When was that?
I think it may have been about 1000 years ago. 
Didn't England have parchment? Does that count as paper?
I guess you could say that was paper as well. Although it was made differently. 
I wonder what kind of wood they used. It would be interesting if it were bamboo.
I don't think Bamboo is used for paper, but it is used for textiles. 
I should look into it. I think bamboo is used for a lot of things. It wouldn't surprise me.
I think you are right. It would be interesting to know. 
What else was made in china? I know a lot of things were made in Japan.
