It is definitely time to come home when:

(1) I find myself amused by the Chinese QVC channel;

(2) I’m reading news stories about wild civets eating ripe Arabika coffee fruits on Bali island (hence the ridiculous cost of Starbucks coffee); and

(3) were sick of the 5 star all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet.

GIVE ME some real news a/k/a the Colbert Report.

We poked around the hotel today and did some last minute shopping in the neighborhood (who wants Wrigley’s Gum in Chinese packaging?). One very important item we did pick-up was an appropriate “red couch” dress for Ava. It is custom for many adoptive families completing their trip in Guangzhou to gather the children together for a red couch photo at the White Swan Hotel. So, at the appointed hour of 7:00PM by the birdcage couches, we kept the custom alive.

In between shopping and the red couch party, Michelle had a mid-day foot massage and back therapy, Richard delivered Ava’s Visa, we had dinner at Lucy’s Bar & Grill and I ended the evening with a swim.

Enjoy the photos. We’ll be home soooooon!
