Eating in China etc...

Well it has been the lack of eating.  We can stand to loose pounds anyways.  We eat breakfast buffet which is somewhat western (eggs, bacon etc).  Lunch is a crapshoot.  We have to eat to get Ricky something otherwise we probably wouldn't eat.  We have ordered room service.  Ricky loves wonton noodle soup (a bit different from home) - it is good.  We tried a hamburger from room service - it was yucky. 
 
Last night we ventured to Pizza Hut with the High Family.  It actually was pretty good.  It was like heaven to eat some real food at dinner. 
 
Today we went to a shopping village.  We bought each of the kids two traditional chinese outfits and other items.  While Chongqing is a big place to adopt from, you still feel like you are on display.  Everyone stares at you.  They talk to their friend, point, and then talk some more.  We have had our pictures taken, a camcorder movie done.  We are such a sight!  That's okay, I just smile at everyone.

Its official

We officially became Ricky's parents today. We had sort of rough night. Ricky went to bed at 9 pm and woke up at 2:00 am. Didn't go back to bed till 4:30. Got up at 7:30 am. What is amazing is that we are tired but not overly tired yet. We also haven't eaten alot - so this is great for our diets. We are just not very hungry.

Ricky BinBin is very very very very very very active. So much so that we are getting comments from the other parents. We asked his nanny and they said he is very active - zoom. He likes cars! He is into everything.

More Pictures

Loading up pictures is quite difficult - it takes a very long time.
Here are some more pictures.
 
We have video of the orphanage but we think it will take too much time to upload.

We woke up at 3:30 am this morning after a good sleep. We finally ate some food other than airport or airplane food. Either the food was good or we were very hungry.

We don't leave until 2:30 pm so we are meeting up with some our group members and going to try to locate the largest mall in Hong Kong.
