We had such a wonderful day today! We got up leisurely, meaning we stayed in bed until about 7! Jr took Jazmin down to eat breakfast while Dad and I slept in. We went back to the People's Park and today, Saturday, there were all these cool stalls with food, trinkets, games, basically a whole carnival complete with amusement park! We never saw any of this the last time we were there; it was lots of fun!
Then we called our guide and went to see Qing Xiu Mountain and the Buddhist Temple. The Buddhist Temple was very beautiful and Jazmin wanted to know who Buddha was so we talked about how some people believe in Jesus Christ and lots of Chinese people believe in Buddha.
Jazmin has acclimated great, though is still tired out by 8pm. But she's up for anything and enjoyed our day thoroughly. We took our guide and driver out to a nice restaurant and Dad had fun trying out the local beer. He's having a great time and is glad he decided to come.
Now, one point I need to make: at 9pm Jr and I went to have a Chinese massage. I recommend this only if you enjoy GREAT PAIN!!!!!!!!! I am still so sore today no one can touch my skin. The little Asian women who did mine must have gotten a kick out of beating the crap out of the chubby American woman!
Now it's off to bed and to prepare for tomorrow, Gotcha!
Consider stepping "outside the box" and adopt a child...it will not only change that child's life, but yours as well.

Sounds like a wonderful place to me - a part of China that we didn't get to see (we're Yangchun'ers). Prayers for a great gotcha experience -
hugs - aus and co.
Thanks for the laugh Debbie. I will have to remember what you said if I decide to get a massage when we go to China.
Glad you are having a great time.

Loved Kunming when we were there six years ago. I loved the massage, it was deep but I wasn't sore at all. I had mine at the White Swan in Guangzhou.
Congratulations!!
