Hmm A few more updates on the week.

So Weds. was medical day and Emma was stressed all morning about it. She was wringing her hands all morning and fretting in general. On the ride over she sat on her hands and would not ackowldge anybody in Chinese or English. Physical went well may need to get eyes checked when we get home. Afterwards time for shots and TB tests. This was the big fear I think, and had a whimper and a tear but it was over. Once over we had a couple of hours of free time to ourselves so we explored the island and shopped.

Anyway just for folks coming in, the island was really torn up today. Could not even hardly get to the clinic and noway if you have strollers as a big hole inthe sidewalk. Personally we were really unimpressed with the island, even the non torn up areas and are glad to be where we are. Mind you we tend to be a little more adventurous than most. Also alot of shops have closed down in the
area. Hey Emma Yunwen even handled ordering lunch, we ended up with a sea cucumber and tarot root coconut soup, some type of Chinese kelp veggie and custard. Said hey she ordered it we eat it. Low and behold it was delicious. As
was everything else she ordered. We slipped money to her under that table and when the waitress brought me the bill told her to give to Emma, she grinned as all the businessmen just stopped and watched! Afterwards shopped where I was wrangled into a tug of war event for Chinese New Year. Sort of became a minor celebrity for a bit and qite funny. Anyway once back at the hotel we hit Pizza Hut for dinner, Emma's choice. Well Pizza Hut in China blows away what is in the States. I mean it is essentially a fine dining place, even serves escargot, veal lamb etc. We had a spicy chicken pizza and a shirmp starter, all was very very good. Anyway very good afternoon considering the morning was rough but day ended up good and more later.
