More on China

Two days ago, we went to the "country side" of China.
It was rural, yet interesting. But, I totally could
NOT live there! There's mosquitos, and loose chickens
running around, and lots of dirt, and it smells like
something died, but kept on walking around! Can you
believe they SLEEP on wood? Oh, by the way, I found
out today that the Chinese PREFER to sleep on "hard
stuff" instead of "soft 'n fluffy". Weird. Today, we
toured the Chen Family Temple, because we are now in
Guangzhou. We are staying at the White Swan, and we
got our adoption *Barbie*. The flight from Nanchang
to Gouangzhou was quick, and my little princess did
VERY well. I don't know if I mentioned this, but...I
wanna go home! Now, let me say, Guangzhou is better,
and it's more fun. Yesterday evening, we went to
Lucy's, which I applaud on their food (I got a grilled
cheese sandwhich), but...not-so-satisfied on the
service. I was just so happy to eat an American meal!
I don't think I'll be having Americanized Chinese
food for a LONG TIME. We've also done more shopping,
which I give an A+, ***** (five star) rating, and a
round of applause to. Today, we went to this big
place that had Jade, pearl, porcelain, fans, wood
carving, and other stuff. I got a lot of cool stuff,
which will go great with my porcelain boxes and stuff
that I got for my BFFs! While shopping, Dad said,
"Whatever you want," and I said, "That's a dangerous
thing to say to me in a store this big." It was
dangerous...for him! In a few moments, Dad and I are
going to go get some BarBQue in the hotel, and maybe
do some shopping in the hotel, and I may (if I can
talk him into it) go swimming later. Tomorrow, we are
going to the clinic, to check her "out". Right now,
I've got to go, because, she just woke up and I'm
hungry for my lunch. Which I haven't eaten, and it's
4 PM.
