Today is a really big day! Today we drive 3 1/2 hours away to Maoming City to visit the orphanage where Graham has been living. We have mixed emotions about today. It is neat to get out to see some of the country but we are just not sure how Graham will react to seeing his nanny's and friends again. We were encouraged by our agency and guides that this will finalize it for him. So we shall see...
We took a few pictures along the way...
Being that there is a 3 1/2 hour drive ahead of us, our guides made sure we had an opportunity for a restroom break. Lets just say that rest areas in China are nothing like ours at home. (even our most disgusting ones would be considered clean in comparison)
This is the perverbial "squaty potty" yep it is just a porcelain hole in the ground. Needless to say, I (Tracy)didn't have to go so bad after all. I don't think I have ever smelled anything quite so bad.
Lots of scooter and bicycle transportation. They just merge in with all the big buses and cars.
They haul anything, chickens, fruit, boxes, you name it they pedal everywhere.
Driving Rules?? Ha! there are no rules...
Finally made it to Maoming City so we stop for lunch.
Pizza Hut in China is very different. It is not just pizza here, you might also see a couple of different rice dishes, beef stew, noodle dishes as well (not necessarily italian noodles). They kind of have an Applebee's or O'Charley's atmosphere to them. They served us hot water while we were waiting on our drink orders.
