July Fourth!!

On the Fourth of July we had Ella's travel physical and everything went well. I filled out 10 more pages for her visa in which we will go to the consulate to say the oath on behalf of Ella saying we will provide and support her in the good old U.S.A.

Visiting the Country Side

On Thursday we went to the country to see how the average Chinese people live... we aren't in Kansas  anymore. There were cement houses with cement floors with all kinds of animals roaming around. But, the kids were playing some Justin Bieber music in the radio. Later we went to lunch at a resturant with a lazy susan. Here are some pictures...

Touring With Isabella!

Today we went to the people's park in down town Nanchang. It was a nice park where people were exercising and dancing. We then went to a Buddhist temple and saw the giant bronze Buddha with the four kings that protect him.Also, we lit incense for all five of our family members to bring prosperity and good luck! Tomorrow we are going to drive to the country side and see how the average Chinese actually live.
