Day 9 - Guangzhou

Our last full day in China. This morning we flew from Zhanjiang back to Ghanzhou and went back to the White Swan Hotel. We spent the rest of the day walking around and shopping. We met several families who just adopted their son or daughter and were waiting for the American Visa to return home.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) we fly to Beijing and connect to our flight back home. Our flight from Beijing leaves at 5PM and arrives in New York at 5:35PM. Wow only a 35 minute flight (I wish). We should arrive in Atlanta around 10:30 PM.

The trip has been phenomenal and more than met our expectations. We had good weather the whole time, nobody got sick, and our guides made sure everything ran smoothly. The chinese people are very friendly and courteous and I never felt uncomfortable or not safe. We did get lots of stares when we went out but they probably were trying to figure out what 2 chinese girls were doing with us. They also would try to speak chinese to our girls who only know bits and pieces.

We had dinner a Lucy's in the park by the White Swan.

The hotel is already decorated for Christmas.

Everything is all lit up along the Pearl River.
