Headed to Guangzhou

We're all packed up ready to leave for Guangzhou - our last stop before home. We'll be there tonight (Friday night) until we leave Wednesday morning. Our last day in Changsha was very eventful! We ventured out into the city stopping at of all places Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart happens to be one of my least favorite stores in the world. Long lines and low prices. You get to spend a lot of money to save a lot of money and you get to wait to do it! I'll have to admit though, this Wal-Mart had live shrimp, live frogs, live fish, and live turtles. I guess the Chinese people somehow manage to get these things home alive and kill them before dinner. Can you image the games before dinner? Let's play "Catch the frog! OK kids, 1-2-3 get the frog! Hannah, he's over there! Get it Tristan! You almost had him Justin! Macie don't eat the shrimp yet, we've got to kill them first!" The Dad comes in with the spear and gigs the frog to save the day! It definitely would give a new meaning to "quality family time."


On another note, we got our portraits back from the photo session we had with a local photographer. They are absolutely wonderful. She made these authentic Chinese photo albums and they turned out just fantastic. Please come over when we get back to see these. They only cost us $170 and they would have been ten times that expensive in America. I've posted a couple of pictures to give you a taste of what she did but these really don't compare to the album. We'll give you a new update once we're settled in Cuangzhou. Chow!
