Medicals
After a good night's sleep, we were all rarin' to go this morning. We left our nice air conditioned room, stepped outside, and the heat and humidity was like an assault. BAM! My hair, which was in a braid, still somehow managed to completely frizz out; within seconds our clothes were damp with sweat. Absolutely amazing.



So our first stop this morning was the medical examination needed for Liann and the other babies to get their Visas to come home. We had something of a minor miracle occur in that there was nobody else in the waiting room but us, so it was a very quick in-and-out thing. Zhou said he's never seen that happen before. We did find out that our daughter, heretofore who has not cried for more than a few seconds, is capable of a long, loud sustained wail. She did not like having her temperature taken or being weighed, just like her brother. She is 22.2 lbs. But she was pronounced hearty and healthy, so that's done.



After a good nap, the girls gathered in our room for a play date while the daddies left for Zhou's room to fill out paperwork. As far as toy-taking goes, Liann is more of the takee than the taker, but she can still voice her opinion with a loud short "MAH" that you can hear all the way down the hall.



We went to a place called Lucy's for dinner with some of the other families, which serves Western food (although Greg and I still ordered Chinese) and plays sad 70 and 80s pop songs - it's a little jarring. In the middle of the meal, while we were sitting outside (under an umbrella), there was suddenly a deluge of rain. Didn't get too wet, and Liann stayed dry, thank goodness.

Tomorrow we're off to the Pearl and Jade Markets to continue our efforts to boost China's economy. Greg is in heaven; a can of beer here cost approximately 25 cents.
