Day 2- Part 2

My shower in my room
The bathroom sink........the bathroom is AMAZING!!!
d-toilet!!! I love how they have condoms on the back of the toilet!!!
My bathtub which was wonderful lastnight to realx in!
The couch
My king (rock hard) bed
Lori......you would die for this room. It is so cool and modern. I love it!!! Mom and dad have the biggest/nicest room so maybe I will get pictures today for you!!!






Lastnight Yulin came to the hotel to take us out for dinner. The restaurant that we went to was about a 10 minute walk away and we almost got run over a few times. The driving here is crazy!!! You risk your life when you try and cross a street. And the sidewalks here are for parking your cars on.....its unbelievable!!!



It was so nice to finally meet Yulin after 2 years of talking to her. She is the Director of my agency and is the one who made this all happen!!! She is wonderful!!! We also had supper with James & Louisa (from Calgary) and Kelly and her mom. The dinner was good.....but I think I'm going to starve!!!! I dont know what we had, but the beer was awesome. It tasted just like home!! After we had supper Yulin took us to a market and we bought some water and beer. I cant wait to go back there today to look around.

Sorry this picture is blurry but I took it from the vehicle while going to our hotel. Its a poodle dog that has 2008 shaved out and his fur died colors......was too funny!!!

Well it is now 8:15am and we have to meet for breakfast at 9am. We are heading to the "dirty" market so hopefully there will be some good shopping. We also have dinner plans again at the same restaurant with Yulin tonight Another family flies in today, but not sure who yet.

PRIVATE MESSAGE FOR HUNTER: Hey buddy!!! How do you like Auntie's pictures from China? Only 2 more sleeps and I will have Channing. I cant believe she will be here so soon. Auntie took a picture of the plane for you. How is Saige? Are you going to the lake this weekend? Love you!!!

I am really enjoying following along and learning new things about China. Thanks for all the info. Your sense of humor is great too - love the shots of cars on the sidewalk! Hope you are catching up on your sleep in preparation for the big day but I imagine it is hard with all the excitement. Best Wishes from the USA! -Dale

Wow, nice digs!! Sounds like fun so far! I so wish I was with you, though - who knows when my turn will come - sigh. I bought something today to remind me what I am waiting for - I'll post in on my blog.

Wow! What a gorgeous room! Will you be staying in that same hotel when you return to Beijing?

Hmmmm...wish there was something we could think of that would be light and not take up a lot of room in our suitcases to help deal with the hard beds.

It won't be long now friend!

PS - Your post looks great! No changes needed.
