Day 9:

11/4/12 Today we went to the Chen clan Academy and Liwan lake park. We got back at 1:30. Samuel was so tired he fell asleep on the bus. So we opted to eat pizza in our room for lunch. Levi has not been wanting an afternoon nap and seems to hold up fine. After Samuel woke up we went to the Friendship Mall. We didn't stay long as its basically an American shopping Mall. Next we went to Jusco which is a 5 floor Walmart type store. We were looking for a straight iron as ours exploded from a power surge. We also happily discovered China carries Oreos!! We ate supper at a really good Taiwanese restaurant! Samuel and Levi downed a whole tray of dumplings! The weather is still great here, but up in Hohhot and Beijing its snowing! Our trip here is winding down. Tomorrow we go to get Levi's TB test read and Tuesday is our Consulate appointment. Wednesday we leave for Hong Kong so we can fly out early Thursday morning.
