Before dinner, we met with our agency rep, Yisha one final time before we go to the airport in the morning. She gave us Cooper's Chinese passport, which is a very big deal. The next step is to get an American visa in his passport for our trip home. We will get the visa at our next stop, the US Consulate in Guangzhou. Then, once we land in the US, he will be a US citizen.
We had dinner with another family at the Holiday Inn Express next door to our hotel. We have been to that restaurant three times now. It is very good and inexpensive! We came to China thinking that everything would be inexpensive. That was the old China. From our viewpoint the economy is booming here and most things are very expensive. Maybe it's just where we are in this city. Anyhow, we are happy to find good food at a good price. Ryan had beef noodles, Barb had noodles with tomatoes and veggies and Cooper and I had braised chicken with mushrooms and rice. It was yummy and he loved the chicken. Truthfully he loves all food! At dinner he started saying "Mama!" I don't know if he knows exactly what it means but it totally made my day!
Tomorrow we move to Guangzhou. We are all very excited about moving because it means we are one step closer to getting home. I am enjoying my trip to China but I can't wait to introduce Cooper to everyone! We will be in Guangzhou for seven nights then Hong Kong for two nights. Tomorrow will be Coopers first time on an airplane, so wish us luck! ~Ronda
