Day 11

Today was the medical exam and visa paperwork.  We meet and drove as a group to the medial clinic.  There were lots of people there getting check ups in hopes of a us visa.  There was an area just for adoptive families so we were able to get the visa photos and medical exams fairly quickly.

We then returned to the hotel and ordered family style dishes on our own...turned out well.

We then did some exploring around the hotel; walked several blocks around window shopping and taking in the city.  I have to say I'm really impressed with the city.  I'm sure we are in a newer area, but they have seemed to take care as everything seems clean, the weather has been nice (and hot), lots of landscaping.  Reminds me that in Nanchang on our way back from eating we had to dodge some sqatty potties.  A girl that seemed a little old to be in spilt pants was mailing several no. 2 land mines for us.  Back to Guangzhou - on our walk we saw several different groups of men playing cards.
