In China
All Days  |  Previous Day  |  Next Day

Friday, March 18, 2016 Today was a quiet, rather boring day. All we had on the schedule was to wait for our U.S. consulate package, which included Nicole's visa, to be delivered. For lunch, we decided to try out a local Mexican restaurant. We had heard good things about it. Mr. Pancho's is a short hike from the hotel. It has good food and the decor of a Tex Mex restaurant. Their slogan is "A Mexican taste lost in China." While waiting for Nicole's paperwork this afternoon, we played games, watched TV and worked on Nicole's English. While working on English word cards, Nicole kept asking the same question over and over. We finally got her to say into the translator app on the iPad. She was asking, "Do we go to the United States tomorrow?" Allison told her no, two more days. She pouted because she wanted to go tomorrow! I had to go down to the business center to confirm our flights. While I was gone Nicole kept asking Allison through the translator app, "Mama go to the United States. Never come back!" Then she would laugh and laugh. I think she is excited and a bit nervous to be going to the U.S. After her visa arrived, we walked down to the movie theater and saw Zootopia 3D in English. She enjoyed it and kept grabbing in front of her. We thought it was interesting that there were more showings in English than Mandarin. She smiled the whole way back to the hotel and told us she had fun! Tomorrow is our last full day in China. It is supposed to rain most of tomorrow so we will probably just hang out in the hotel and pack and repack. Can't wait to get back home!
