Re: TRAVEL DIARY: Jundo Goes To China

Just a note that Mina and Leon arrived safely. Today we are flying to Nanning in neighboring Guanxi to meet the baby tomorrow.

Great news and I'm sure you are glad to see them. Tomorrow will be quite a day, so pace yourselves!

I can't express how happy I am for you and the family...best wishes!

Gassho,

Thank you Jundo for sharing your experiences and the fantastic amount of information on Chinese Buddhism.

Best wishes to you and the family for the finalisation of the adoption.

TRAVEL DAIRY IV:

Hi All,

Well, we made it to Nanning, Guangxi ... (map here)

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=nanning+china+map&gs_upl=1922l4562l0l4937l17l9l0l0l0l0l422l422l4-1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1138&bih=540&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x36b16129db60f479:0x8052498222e9bfb2,Nanning,+Guangxi,+China&ei=QcTkTuirPO3nmAXRi9XwBA&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCgQ8gEwAA

... and got the news that, contrary to what we had been told and thought, we do not get the baby for "keepsters" next Wednesday ...

... but TOMORROW MORNING! About 12 hours from now! :shock: They bring our daughter to us about 11:30 am, and after some formalities, just leave her!

So, just sitting with that.

Thus, tonight, we made a mad rush over to the Chinese Wal-mart across from our hotel for last minute baby supplies and ... we are ready to go!

Oh, by the way, yes, they have "Wal-mart" in China too.

And it is just like the Wal-mart in America ... cause EVERYTHING IS MADE IN CHINA! 8) Maybe their secret plan is to have everyone in China both working and shopping at them too?

Actually, it seems there are a few items that only are sold at Chinese Wal-mart. Like crocodiles and assorted dried reptiles (if you believe this webpage. I did not see that in our short stop this time, but I will sure ask when we go back!) ...

Re: TRAVEL DIARY: Jundo Goes To China

Very exciting time for you and your family, Jundo, I am sure! :mrgreen: I can't wait to hear the details on your new daughter, or perhaps see a picture in the coming months.

As a few have commented, thanks for passing on all the interesting stuff you're learning.

Gassho,

Amelia

Re: TRAVEL DIARY: Jundo Goes To China

Jundo,
What a great turn of events! Fingers are crossed for the next twenty-four hours! I am sure you are rushing about (and not-rushing - finding stillness in your preparations) picking up the necessary items....

Be well, and Gassho,
Yugen
