Day 13 J's first Louis Vuitton!

All that we did today was shop, take pictures, and shop some more! The tradition at the White Swan is when all the little kids that were adopted sit on the red couch, and get their pictures taken. When we went shopping, J was in a bad mood. J was going to stay with a different family because J was not in the mood to shop. J was forced to come anyway so that is the reason of the 'tude! Then we walked into a store that sold North Face, Louis Vuitton, and Coach. Then, J got all happy. J got a Louis Vuitton wallet that only cost about $10 (USA money), and J got a Coach for about $15 (USA money). I was very happy. The Coach is not real but the wallet looks real because it was made in France!! We also had a great Italian dinner! It was a great day and J hopes that tomorrow is just as good!

While Aunt K was getting C's visa picture and medical exam, G took some time to journal and practice hacky sack. We went shopping for C's first pair of shoes, well second really but the first pair she likes! G is trying to find a North Face jacket to buy but having troubles with sizes. G and D (a friend from another family) made a bet. A hard bet for G. If G could go 24 hours without playing a video game, D would pay G 100 Yuan. That is about $15 in USD. TV and computer did not count! It was hard but G prevailed!! G is now 100 Yuan richer!

Guangzhou is almost parallel to Miami. That means it is supposed to be warm but lately it has not been warm which is disappointing. There are many shops near our hotel. It is very, very beautiful. And that is all G can think of. G misses home but is really enjoying his time in China!
