7/7/2010 Museum Visit & Walmart

We went to the Hunan Provincial Museum; it was very interesting. There was a 2,100 year old tomb from the Han Dynasty & the body was displayed. It was kind of creepy seeing the mummy, but cool too. We learned many interesting facts about the Hunan Dynasties and viewed several cultural exhibits. The museum was very crowded.

After the museum, we went to Walmart. It is pretty similar to our Walmart except for the grocery dept. At one point, I thought I might lose my breakfast from the overwhelming smell of dried meat. There was hanging whole fish & hanging dried duck. Squid, octopus (?), chicken etc. on beds of ice that you just bagged & took with you. It was interesting. They definitely don’t let any parts go to waste.





When we got back to the hotel, we decided that we didn’t want any more Chinese food & took off to find the Pizza Hut. We got directions from the bell boys but never did find it. We did find a wonderful bakery called, “Lucky’s Cake Shop”, they had little pizzas, bread, cakes, smoothies, hot dogs and much more. We wanted 1 of everything! It was delicious. For anyone coming to the Dolton, go 1.5 blocks & Lucky’s is on your left. It is wonderful, we are going back!
Emily is doing good, the orphanage director said that her nickname was Ning Ning, so I have been calling her that too. She doesn’t like to be alone & will cry if we step out of her line of vision. She had some noodles today & can slurp a 2 foot noodle down her stomach in record time. She is very loving & enjoys getting kisses.
