Exciting Sunday
Well today a bunch of us went site seeing. Terry, Jena & Laylah, Devin & I and Jason, Lora & Justin. We went into the city of Hangzhou which is about a 25 minute drive. And the way they drive you wish it was only 5 minutes. There is just no way to explain a ride in a vehicle around here. In the city they have a lake called West Lake with all kinds of shops around the lake. The lake was very pretty however it was a little impossible to stop and take pictures or video anything because every time you stopped you were attacked by Chinese people. I seriously am not exaggerating. They would swarm around our kids and try to touch them all over. This even happened when we would try to shop so the women would go into the shop while the guys stood around our kids to guard them and within 10 minutes we would have to leave because the men could not keep them away. So our shopping was limited because of this. It actually was pretty sad to know that we couldn’t even enjoy our shopping adventure or site seeing because of the safety of our kids. I told the rest of the group I wonder if this is what it feels like to be a famous person in the US as you are never left alone by the public. One of the persons here at the hospital told us the Chinese didn’t mean no harm it’s just they have never seen an American. I told them that was fine if they wanted to stare or take pictures but to literally attack you was not polite. So needless to say that will probably be our last adventure with very little pictures to bring home:(
We did however end the day with some fun and you will never guess where Devin got to go… In the city they have a Hooters China…that’s right Devin went to hooters but as you can image the Chinese hooters are not even close to the US hooters!!!!! I wouldn’t know as I don’t even think I have ever been to a hooters in the US but I’m sure it’s a little different. So, Devin did get his picture taken with the girls and loved every minute of that.
We can’t talk much as we spent the whole day out today and it is already 7:00pm and Devin is very tired and needs a shower tonight after the day he had today.
This week Devin has a spinal on Monday and Friday so it will be a hard week but that will make the last week easy.
Have a great Sunday.
Kim & Devin
