We walked to KFC for lunch today. It was an interesting experience. We walked up many stairs to the restaurant, and they showed us a picture menu. Somehow, we both ended up getting kids meals - Richard got a sandwich, and I got nuggets. We also had a small box of popcorn chicken, we thought that YuanYuan would like them, but they are spicy in China, so we ended up giving him some of my nuggets, and the mashed potatoes instead! He loved the mashed potatoes. They are different in China, the flavoring is just not quite the same. With our meals we had a choice between milk and orange pop. We both chose the orange pop - imagine our surprise when we discovered that the orange pop was served hot (with a straw!). It was good, though. Richard went back up to get a small strawberry sundae - we thought that YuanYuan would like it. Apparently, the cold ice cream does not agree with him - he made horrible faces and almost cried!
After lunch we walked to the grocery store. If you have a bag you have to get a ticket from a machine, then a locker pops open and you put your bag inside. When you are done shopping, you scan the ticket in the machine and it opens your locker for you. We picked up some bottled water, a coke, and some diapers for our boy.
I think there is someone important or something important happening at our hotel. When we walked into the lobby after shopping, we were ushered to the elevator and the bellhop pushed the button for us, and waited until the doors closed before he left! Tonight we went to the Cantonese restaurant on the 4th floor, and after we ate we were again ushered to the elevator and watched until the doors closed. I had the feeling that we weren't supposed to be there, although everyone was very polite about it.
In other news, Andy finally pooped today, the first time since we met him on Sunday. He wasn't feeling well at all, but is doing much better now.
ok, enough for now. We fly to Guangzhou tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to update until Saturday. bye!
