Peoples Park & Porcelain Shop
We slept in today until 4:00am, WOW getting better! Today we went to a very nice and interesting park. There were lots of people exercising, practicing sword dancing, playing musical instruments, and just enjoying leisure time. There was a small amusement area which contained various rides that the girls could go on. While the girls rode, the ladies fed their babies which drew a large crowd. The Chinese stayed around us the whole time we were at the park but especially while Christy and Laurie were feeding their babies. Maddie was a little afraid because they would follow us and just stare at her. We came upon an older gentleman who was writing Chinese characters using a stick which had a sponge on the end of it and he would dip it in the water. While we were watching him he wrote, “Our American Friends.”
After we left the park we went to a porcelain shop. Jiangxi is the capitol of porcelain so Jenny told us it is very important that we buy something porcelain that we could give our children when they get older. We bought Jadeyn a porcelain tea set, which is very popular amongst the Chinese people.
Next we proceeded to KFC for lunch and then back to our hotel for the girls to take a nap. After the girls woke up we went for one last shopping adventure at Wal-Mart. Once back at our hotel, it was dinner time so we began to eat our leftover lunch. Jadeyn insisted on going to Maddie’s room to see what she was eating. She decided she no longer wanted her chicken nuggets and potatoes with gravy but instead wanted their Roma Noodles. She could not get enough of these! After our gourmet dinner, we took the girls back to the “so called” play area to release some more of their bottled up energy. After their much needed play time, we then settled in for the night.
We are looking forward to tomorrow as we will go pickup Jadeyn’s passport and off to Guangzhou we go! We can’t get there fast enough!! Todays Pictures are in the Photo Bucket under Jadeyn Pics and China Pics - Nanchang 2006.
