Bureaucracy At Work

Another great day for us here. We were told by our guide that Daiyu will need another passport in order leave so we got her passport picture and the application is going to Changsha today. We will see what happens when we get to the US Consulate Wednesday. There seems to be no logic in the world of bureaucrats. One way or another we'll get it done. After the passport work was done we visited a local park and tried our hand at exercise. I need some work. Yesterday a thousand stairs and today exercise equipment. At least I gave the locals something to laugh about. Daiyu on the other hand has energy to spare. If only I could borrow some. After the exercise we made our way to a familiar place - Starbucks. They are everywhere. Then a quick run down the street to 7-11 and then the pharmacy. Tonight we thought we would head up to the 30th floor and eat at the buffet restaurant that overlooks the city. This has been a really great time. In the morning we will call Ohio and talk with her foster family via skype. Amazingly it works pretty well here and its free. After that we have another day of city tours and wearing out the parents. I've posted a few pictures of our day today. Hopefully us parents will still be walking by the time we get home.
