Cereal selection at Wal-Mart Supercenter in Nanchang: mostly hot grain cereal, and 4 varieties of cold cereal (see top row)! No Cheerios, Gerber Puffs, or similar baby snacks to be found. And I spent a lot of time studying that Wal-Mart. Plenty of wipes and other non-food baby supplies, though.
Me at TengWeng Pavilion. I climbed to the top for a view of a somewhat ugly river & skyline (sorry, Nanchang.) There was a jovial group of businessmen who wanted pictures with the foreigner. The gardens and fish-turtle ponds were nice. It had an elaborate bonsai (miniature tree) garden. As I arrived, the America World group was leaving, so I got to see the families & babies briefly before they headed "home" for their naps. Afterwards, I explored the Gloria Hotel, and Shengli shopping street for teeny-bopper fashions and a shrimp sandwich at KFC.

Love the photos of China... thanks for the hint of things to come... that is a bummer about your Home Study... hope you get it sorted out... take care
ReplyDeleteThats really neat that you got to go visit China! We are stationed at Scott AFB in Il. right now (not the greatest but not the worst)... Congrats on getting closer to adopting your little girl. We adopted a 2 and a half year old boy last year from Guangdong - he is the greatest... and there were Cherrios in Guanghzhou (just in case your child is from there) We were there for the full two weeks and had no problem finding snacks even though I took a bunch just to prepare. We are going back to Nanning sometime next year to adopt a 7 year old girl now! Can't wait to follow your journey... adoption is so wonderful. Heidi
