Guangzhou

Guangzhou is much better than Changsha...no scooters allowed.  It is in the southern province of Guangdong.  Not too far from Hong Kong.  The weather is warmer...the traffic is regulated.  You can definitely feel the influence of the coast. The people here are a little more used to foreigners with asian children.  Fewer stares.  This is the home of the American Consulate...it is where all adoptions in the entire country of China are processed for visas.  Kai will get his medical exam and have his picture taken for his visa. On December 19th I will submit final documentation and be sworn in at the consulate.   All of of the tedious work in Changsha comes to its end in Guangzhou. 

Arrived late and the little duffer is out cold.

...one in every closet in China...
