We started out early today and headed to the US Consulate after our umpteenth trip to the breakfast buffet here at the Victory. Bought done with THAT! The process has changed a bit since 07 but the end result is the same and it went surprisingly fast. There was one little glitch, here comes the cringe factor...when going through security where you put all your stuff on the conveyor belt, our little ZiJing went and put her hand on the belt and it sucked her middle finger of her left hand, the one she does everything with, into the belt. The guard saw it and stopped the belt, but they had to reverse it to get her finger out. Can you say OUCH!? I know it throbbed and it continued to swelll...poor dear, she sobbed and sobbed until she threw up on baba's shoulder...nice. She finally calmed down once we got outside and saw our guide. A bandaid later and it was off to the Safari Park. Now mind you, her finger is not broken but she may never let me look at it...
The park was huge and very nice but after feeding the giraffes, seeing the beautiful white tigers in captiviy :( and walking for what seemed like HOURS (2 1/2), we left early, found our driver and headed back. Can I just say that ZiJing talked to our driver the.whole.way.home. She must have been hard up to hear some Mandarin, it was sooo funny. Bern tipped him extra for amusing her...btw, his name was "Jack"...figures!
Tonight we are joining some other folks for a traditional hot pot dinner with our guide, we are looking forward to some yummy stuff!
