Another Post

Sorry to be boring you with another post. There just isn't much to do this time of day without waking everyone up. I can blog or go in the bathroom and read a book. There is no comfortable chairs in the bathroom.

Fuzhou is so different than Beijing. We are really like it here better. Fuzhou has a population of about 2 million. Still a big city but a much slower pace and not quite as many people. The air is better too even in the hotel room. I had difficulty brieving in Beijing especially in the hotel room. We love the hotel we are staying at. There is more for the kids to do and more choices of restaurants. Katherine our guide is fantastic. She even called last night to make sure Dallas had no problems going to McDonalds. She also arranged for someone to come and pick up our laundry. I think they were abit surprised at the quanity of laundry we had. With 6 of us we had accumulated quite a bit since we left the States. It came to around 100.00 but we figured that wasn't bad. It was a third of the price the hotel would have charged. I know there were 21 shirts in there and probably the same number of shorts,underwear,and socks.

On the plane ride to Fuzhou it was a little uncomfortable. I sat behind Dallas with Zachary and Julia. That won't happen again. Everyone was staring at us and trying to touch Zachary and Julia. A boy behind Zachary did talk a little English with him but then he kept standing up in his seat and just staring at Zachary. Zachary didn't know this was happening. Fortunately Julia went to sleep so people then left her alone. Definitely gives you a feeling what it is like to be the miniority.
