5/7 - Another day of the same - except hotter and more humid. 83 degrees here feels like 95 at the World Show in Tulsa, OK. We were sweating when we stepped off the elevator this morning, before we even went outside. Last night was a good night for Qin-Qin. She was a quiet sleeper till about 5:00 this morning when she decided to kick both of us out of bed and sleep sideways on all of the pillows. What a Princess! She ate a good breakast full of congee, fruit and apple juice. Dan and I stuck to the bacon, sausage, pancakes, pork dumplings, steamed buns, fried rice and a little fruit, too. We met Vickie about 10 and headed to a local park. The park was like a metropark and a fair mixed together. It was large, green and full of people just relaxing. It was filled with concrete areas for tai chi, trees, bushes, flowers, ponds and carnival games and rides. I saw some birds that looked like our sparrows and some that looked larger than a mockingbird. I tried to get pictures, but they were always hiding in the trees. There was a small wading pool filled with goldfish where the kids were allowed to fish, while adults fished in the larger ponds. We let Qin-Qin play in the bouncy game and she looked lost. There were other kids that tried to play with her and she didn't know what to do. She bounced around a little on the edge but mostly waited for us to pick her up. We headed back to the car and went to the embroidery factory. The pieces here are beautiful! The workers embroider small and large portraits that look like oil paintings until you see them up close. Some of the big ones took 1-2 years and were $1-$2 mil yeun ($150,000-$300,000 USD). This province is known for their tiger embroidery. The eyes of the tiger are supposed to follow you where ever you go due to the different color silk threads that they use. It was a short tour and small factory. We had tears (and screams) from Qin for the first time on our way out. Back at the hotel we tried some rice, apple and pear for lunch and she told us that she was not hungry by spitting it all out. She went off to the play area and then down for a 2 hour nap. After she woke, we played some more in the room and went to the play area again. She interacted with the 5-6 year old girl that she met yesterday. They were both talking to each other. Qin definately looked up to the girl, followed her around and let herself be picked up. She looked like a lost little soul when she looked back at us; it was a sad look. Qin had a snack when she woke up and ate like a horse at dinner. We tried the dinner buffet for the first time tonight. OMG. I pretty much stuck to dinner rolls, fried rice and pork dumplings. The food looked incredible and was beautifully prepared, but I wasn't in the mood for duck neck, duck feet, octopus, baby squid, turtle, snake or frog legs. I'm sure I missed some, but you can get the picture. Qin does not like green beens (my girl), honeydew melon or deep fried fish. She does like noodles, pasta and grapes For desert she tried some ice cream, which was a definite NO, I think because it was cold. We are trying to figure out her likes and dislikes since she didn't come with a manual. We headed back to the room for a bath and some shut eye. Tomorrow will be her trip to the airport and first big plane ride. Lucky for us it is only 1.25 hours long - a good preparation for the big one next week. We are getting cabin fever and ready to move on, but we must wait for her passport to be finalized tomorrow before we can leave this area.
