Well it was the last day in Beijing and we closed out some of the last minute things that Mengchen needed to do. It was a busy day! We went to the hospital to close out her account there and get the balance of her account. Went to the bank and the post office as well. We just got back from visiting her sister, brother-in-law, her twin nephews, and mother. We went out to a place and had a hot pot. This is an interesting concept and we will need to look for something like this in Phoenix. I kind of rank it with the Mongolian BBQ's. For those who are not familiar with it you basically have a pot of hot water that is heated and they bring out various meats and vegitables that you cook in the boiling water. They have a "salad bar" arrangement where you go and mix up your sauces that you put your cooked items into. It was very good and a great experince. It was suppose to be my treat, but her brother-in-law snuck out and paid for the dinner before I could do it.
Well we all said good-bye, and they wished us both well. I promised her mother that I would take care of her daughter and keep her happy. Anyway, The taxi comes at 9am tomorrow to take us to the airport so I am gonna get things packed.
Look at the souvienger that I am bringng back with me! (Look what I got for a bag of Snickerdoodles and a bag of Caramels!)
Don't forget my chicken toenails!
