Journey to China: Tianjin To Guang Zhou Day 5, 6, 7

Sorry to not post in 3 days...We have been out an about, which is good. sorry this is long. I need to document better for her memory book.
Day 5 was more paperwork and some shopping. Day 6 was thanksgiving and we went to a nice restaurant had Peking Duck. You are suppose to eat the skin by rolling it (with chopsticks of course!) in sugar. It tasted good- different- greasy sugar. The Duck was good too a bit more greasy than turkey but still very tasty. Marian showed us how to wrap the duck in wraps with Chinese chives, cucumber and soy sauce.
We also went to Cultural street. Really neat stuff. We sent Kurt with Joylin back in a taxi so Marian and I could keeping looking around. Kurt is allergic to shopping. I think Joylin was enjoying herself- she got a lot of attention, yet was missing her afternoon nap.
Later that day , Marian and I took a taxi to the outskirts of town to her founding place. It was pretty emotional for me to see this place. We did run into an older lady that remembered Joylin. She keep saying- "nothing wrong with her but mouth." We figured that out too. She is a smart little girl. She is healthy- like an OX- her Chinese year symbol.

We made the transition to GZ. The 3 hour flight was delayed. Joylin was over tired to begin with and fussed on the plane. There weren't any extra seats and she was in our lap. we arrived at The famous White Swan hotel (famous for adoption families) at 10 pm. Our guide, Jason gave us a ton of information that neither Kurt or I could concentrate on- we are really tired. Luckily he wrote it down too so we were able to look at it in the morning.
The breaksfast buffet is quite spectacular. The goal is to eat enough here then skip lunch. At Breakfast, we noticed that there were lots of adoptive families here. We fit in! In Tianjin, we were stared at everywhere we went. Here you smile at all the adoptive parents.
GZ is much more "westernized" - we had a starbucks coffee (yum). Jason warned us that there are more police and security points right now for the Asian games which are happening here in GZ. He said there are about 16 million people here. Wow. I cannot say it enough how crowded and that there are ALOT of people in China. You can really feel it walking around. I have been to NY city during many summers and it is still not as crowded as here.

We had to do our medical examine today and her photo for an American Visa. She was awesome. she didn't cry once through the exams. we didn't have to do the immunizations b/c she is under 2(she actually has most of her shots except MMR). It wasn't as bad as we thought. They took some of her latest measurements - weight is at 16 lbs and she is 26 inches long. Maybe she ahs gained some weight with us? She sure can eat! We put her on cereal on day 2 and that seems to fill her up. There is another couple here with a 16 month old and she weighs 3x as much as Joylin.

Below are pictures from the last 3 days.
