You'd think he'd get up for us. Not a chance! Not today. What you're from Canada... that's too bad!
Here we are as we wait for the seal show to begin. The MC is babbling on and on about god knows what until finally the seal appears, does a 2 minute stint and shuffles off. MC babbles some more and according to our guide, she is saying that the seal is not cooperating and does not want to perform today. Disney World this is not! Too funny!
We had a fabulous lunch once again thanks to our guide and her dish ordering skills. Just when you thought you already had the cheapest meal possible the other night (just $15 for 4 people for dinner), we had an even cheaper meal today at $10 for 4 people! And you should have seen how fancy this restaurant was!
After nap time, the girls went for a swim at the hotel pool with baba while mama had a group meeting in preparation for the Canadian Embassy and discussed all the activities for next week in Beijing. Wow... it will be a action-packed week!
We ended our day with another fabulous dinner at a local restaurant. Here I thought I would lose weight in China like I did the last time (10 lbs.) but not with all this wonderful Chinese food flowing around me. I'd probably gain weight if I didn't have to eat quickly as Alexia is not a big fan of the high chair. It's not so easy to eat with a baby sitting on your lap and grabbing everything in sight.
I'd like to show you two sides of China.
Complete serentity and utter beauty
Complete chaos
These two worlds are right next to each other... but when you are in one, you'd never know the other one existed. I love China!
I leave you with a look at my two beauties during bathtime... I missed this due to the very long meeting :(

Looks like everything is going great.
I totally agree about the two sides of China. The traffic is just chaos. I remember sitting in the front of the taxi coming back from pizza hut. It was scary!
This family truly shines with sunshine. The enormous smiles tell the story.
Love the blog site,
Aunt Karen and company
Susie & Gord,
