Saturday 22nd December – Last day in China!!
Today was very long I slept late, the nurses came and washed my hair and the rest of the day was taking forever to end. Our friends visited us and the nurses said goodbye. There was however an incident that took place today. There is a wholesale market where people go to shop and bargain, mom went this morning with one of the nurses who really stayed with me on the 7th Floor and helped me after surgery. We wanted to get her a present and she was bargaining with a man for a purse and when she didn’t take it the man began beating the nurse and chasing after them. They eventually escaped and leaved the place but the nurse got some slaps and kicks and mom was so scared by the incident. We were later told that these incidents do occur at that place, it’s just that since being here we never saw any fights or heard of it.
I sat on the chair this afternoon for a while and really do hope tomorrow I will be able to sit and travel for all those long hours. We will be leaving Shenyang to Shanghai at 12.30pm; and leaving Shanghai at 6.45pm to Chicago arriving in Chicago 5.15pm all on the 23rd December 2007.
