Today was another busy day! We spent most of the day at the LiWan market - think of it as the biggest mall you've ever seen, and then make it about 10 times bigger! There are thousands of shops selling everything from fine pearl and jade to discount movies! We got some cool movies on DVD, some shoes, some sweaters and dresses, and even bought some traditional silk and hand sewn items to give to family and friends. There were SO MANY PEOPLE there - you wouldn't believe the crowds - but everyone gets along without any fighting or anything. It's all very cool!
We came back to the hotel to rest while Dad confirmed the air plane tickets to get us home and picked up the laundry. We gather everything up and send it to a lady near hear who washes it for us and then folds it into little plastic bags. When it comes back we just throw the bags back into our suitcase and we're ready for the next few days. It's easy to pack that way too!
Our whole group then met in the lobby and went to a traditional Vietnamise restaurant. The food was good - but some of it was hard to eat - it's all a part of being in China!
Finally we got back to the hotel - grabbed a bath - and headed to bed. These days are busy - and there is always something new to experience and learn. Tomorrow we go back to the medical clinic to find out about Chase's TB test (but we can't remember where he got it and we can't tell by looking either - so it will be OK), and then we'll spend some time on the Island with our friends from Cincinnati - we'll have some fun there!
We'll write more later - hugs -
Brianna and Braelyn
