Free Day

We didn't have anything scheduled today so he hung out around the hotel for our last full day here in China.  Our guide dropped off Kora's passport with visa this afternoon so we are ready to go tomorrow.  The kids wanted to do all their favorite things at the hotel one last time.

In the Hotel's Garden, there are many ponds that contain Koi fish that people feed bread to.  Megan and Jason also enjoyed feeding them pieces of bread.

 

 

They also went swimming in the afternoon and played in the Children's Playroom one last time.  We asked them what the best part of staying in the hotel was and they answered buffet breakfast (had lots of different donuts), swimming, play room, riding escalators and elevators, feeding fish, and going to Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and Subway for supper. 

Below is a picture from our hotel window of the entrance to the hotel and the street in front of the hotel.  Except for late at night and early morning, there was steady, heavy traffic going by all the time.  For those of you who dislike driving in the twin cities, China is 10 times worse.  Other drivers will cut right in front of you.  Nobody waits for pedestrians to cross the street so they just have to walk out in front of the vehicles.  Bicyclists are darting in and out.  It's pretty crazy, but we felt safe with our driver since he was used to it.
