Consulate Appointment and Korean BBQ!!

On Thursday, we had our consulate appointment bright and early in the morning!  We had to meet our guide at 7:45…eek!  When we got to the consulate, there were people everywhere outside!  Once we were at the adoption area, there were quite a few families…more Westerners than I’ve seen all week here!  It was pretty quick, and we were out of the building after a half an hour!  We spent quite a bit of time playing in the playroom today, and then grabbed some fast food Italian for lunch.  

The little man of course had to take his nap, so while he was napping, I took myself for a pedicure.  It was heaven.  Please note though, if you ever plan on a pedicure in China, you need to bring flip flops with you…they don’t provide you with the cheapo ones you typically get after a pedicure.  Lesson learned!  After nap time, we went down to the playroom and hung out with our friends who headed out yesterday afternoon.  Very sad!  We said our goodbyes, and then headed out to dinner.  We were SO excited about dinner, because yesterday we discovered a Korean BBQ restaurant in the mall next to our hotel.  YAY!  If you have never had Korean BBQ, you are missing out, let me tell you!  It has been one of my favorite meals since going to Japan in college.  We ordered lots of food, but we managed to get it all down!  After dinner, we took the little guy for his first taste of Dairy Queen.  He wasn’t fond of his cone, but liked both of our blizzards…go figure!  

We got most of our stuff packed up, and are ready to get on the train to Hong Kong on Friday night!  We cannot wait to be home!
