Today we had a free day until 3:30 when Judy came to help us finish paperwork and collect our visa fees. We just relaxed and the girls watched a couple of movies. You can buy dvd's, new releases etc for $1-2! We walked around a little and bought the girls a couple of small toys to entertain them then came back to the room for naps and to wait for Judy. After the paperwork session, Judy took us to dinner at a traditional Chinese restaurant. It is always enjoyable because the meals are served family style on a big lazy susan set on around table. Dinner was excellent with barbecued pork, sweet and sour pork, a beef dish, fried noodles, spicy green beans, broccoli and a fruit platter. Yummy! After dinner we went to the local photo store to get Jax's and Kylee's visa photos. Judy will take this paperwork to the U.S. consulate on Tuesday and walk it through the process there, while we go to a wildlife safari.

Today we had breakfast and will meet Judy to go get the kids medical check-up. This is a very very basic check that is truly a formality. Then Judy is going to take us on a tour of a couple places we have been before but are very interesting. Then we are going shopping at some supposedly "cheap" places then off to lunch and then back "home".
