Day 5

Today post is all about China and Emma, we didn't do much today because of the rain. It was pouring pretty much the whole day. We did some shopping at the mall. Which was pretty much like our mall. We got Emma a few outfits for when she is older. Some sweaky shoes which she loves.
Well things we like best about Emma, well everything but a few of our favorites are
her faces, she has a million of them. We laugh so much at these cute faces. Those dimples are to dye for. So many people stop us and tell us how beautiful she is. Our guide told us if a chinese person wants to adopt her that is an honor. I forget if i posted this already but someone from China tried to adopt her, but thank god our paperwork was already being processed and they couldn't. She has quite a personality. She likes to get her own way and of course we let her have it. She loves holding things in her hands. She is very curious to new things. She likes to feel everything and check it out. She loves to watch her surroundings and loves to people watch. So far she is ok if people touch her, but we do our best to keep her away, but the people love to sneak up and touch her. She loves the water is great in the tub and the pool. She gets kick out of splashing herself. She doesn't mind water on her face. She has a belly laugh and smiles and laughs all the time. She sings a lot. She has this song that she sings when we are carring her around the room. She loves pictures looking at pictures of herself she did it for hours today. She likes noodles and loves to slup them up. It pretty funny to watch. She is walking with us holding her hands and she has fun doing it. She likes to be carried most of the time. We got a baby carrier and she is the happiest when she is in there. She likes to feed us. She is just so great, we truly are blessed to have her as our daughter.

As for China, well this is a crazy town. People are everywhere. They invade your space, there really are no manners. they will jump in an elevator before you even can get out. They really don't move out of your way. Our guide is consistently yelling at someone for something. She is this tiny 26 year old, but she doesn't get pushed around. She does the pushing. The waiter and waitress are super nice,but they stand near your table and stare at you while you eat. AS soon as you are done something they are right there to clean it up. People love to stare at us. Everyone say hi, nice to meet you. We had a group of people yell hello to us. Ryan reply Ni Hao(hello) and they went nuts, they were so excited jumping up and down. our guide said we look like celebrates to them. The traffic is crazy cars, bike, mopeds buses and taxies every where. no red lights or lanes it just a free for all. horns beeping all the time. Women in skirts and high heels riding mopeds. Food is pretty much the same. They eat anything. smoked everything. everything has a head on it. They sell live animals on the street corners. They have about 25 stores in row that sell the same thing. i don't know how they make any money. one block is all stores that sell toilets and sinks. one block of all plumbing supplies. it goes on and on like this for blocks. they are open stores. picture the jersey boardwalk shirt stores that what it looks likes hear minus the boardwalk. babies and kids everywhere. the noise never stops. the bed are like sleeping on concrete i can't wait to get into my comfy bed. The showers don't put our alot hot wather and the pressure is low. you can't drink the water and no ice in anything. their favorite american show is prison break and desperate housewives. I am sure each province is different, but that is here in Nanchung.

Well off to guanzhou tomorrow, we are ready for our next adventure. hopefully the change of scenery wont be to scary for Emma. We will be in home in 6 days!
