Not Much happening,still waiting for LOA,almost done with the house. 2 month LID- average wait for LOA seems to be 80-90 days and then TA with 2 weeks -5 weeks. I hope to travel in NOV or Dec. A family is traveling to Changchun to get their daughter Jade . She is at the foster center and was allowed to stay until they get her. I sent a small package with a fall outfit,a teddy bear that giggles when you touch his toes,a mini my little pony,a stacking bucket shape sorter toy and 6 pairs of socks. They are taken it to Zoe and will get pictures of her for me. I am so excited that within a few months she should be home.
2 new pics
here are some things we hope to visit while in China:
the Ba Da Ling section of wall
To the east of the Great Wall at Ba Da Ling and 70 kilometers from the city is this restored section of the Great Wall. This three- kilometer stretch has 25 beacon towers, watch towers and lodging houses. Historically, the construction here required the largest number of laborers to construct and produced work of extremely high quality. It requires a more rigorous climb than Ba Da Ling, but the views are more striking and there are cable cars to take you to the top and even the option of an exhilarating toboggan ride back down.
Beijing Aquarium http://www.blue-zoo.com/
This world-class aquarium of oceanic proportions features dolphin shows, a man-made rainforest, touch pools and junior-sized sharks. Fish tanks - lots of them - are everywhere. The aquarium used to have a bad reputation for not supervising children, who would bang on the glass and scare the fish, literally, to death. However, it is now a very well organized and enjoyable facility to visit. It is particularly convenient for visitors staying in western Beijing, especially those around the university area.
New China Store for Children
If you take the kids along to this store, you might be hard pushed getting them to leave. This six-storey building offers everything a child could dream of from toys to stationery and clothing.
This shop was the first state-owned department store for children following the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
Apart from stocking everything a child could possibly want or need they also offer dining and entertainment facilities. It is good thing that the shop does not provide lodging facilities.
