Wednesday, February 7th

Sorry, for not getting anything posted last night. I am was fighting for time on the computer with Scott.

Wednesday, we headed out to tour a museum here in Nanning, but when we got there it was closed for a special showing. So instead we went to the Zoo! Which is just what we all needed, fresh air!

Now this was not our zoo and it did not have any pandas, but is had dancing, bicycle riding brown bears. We saw brown bears, moneys riding bikes, a goat with a money on it's back walk a tight rope and elephants play soccer. When they first came out I thought they were people dressed like bears. But no, real brown bears.



We also saw the sea lions and dolphins. Jake was entertained and Emma liked the music.

From there we headed back to our hotel for lunch and a nap. We ventured out with another couple around 5pm to go to McDonald's for dinner. I never thought I would so happy to have something other than Chinese food. The french fries taste just like the ones back home. We also did a little shopping at the mall. I had to break down and buy a new backpack for all of Emma's stuff that we need to carry around. I guess I forgot what all you need to carry. Before we went in for the night we stopped for cake at a little bakery. The chocolate cake was awesome.

Thursday we will be traveling to a village outside of Nanning to see what "real" Chinese living is like outside of the city.
A couple of new pictures of Emma.
