Day 6 The People's Park and shopping

Our forever family spot

The Peoples Park

Her Chinese name (Feng Caiju) written in water by a man in the park

We went out without the snow suit again. When we went to the store
to buy porcelain and I was inside the store, a lady gave Jim a chair to sit down. He thought she was being kind so he sat down and then she told him off in Chinese while she pointed to the sleepers. Bound to happen. Too funny!

Walmart

Our laundry came back in this basket all folded, pressed and in these plastic bags

I could get used to this laundry service

Jasmine likes the laundry service too!

We have come a long way in 4 days. This is the first time she fell asleep in my arms without crying and the first time she held my finger to go to sleep

We had a lovely walk in the park, the park is huge. People here know how to relax and most women retire at 40, sounds good to me. So many people were doing Tai Chi, fan dancing, playing Mahjong or singing. Lots of kids around since they are on winter break for a month. We talked to the locals and Jasmine loved all the people. Next we went to buy porcelain. Nanchang is known for its porcelain. We bought her a porcelain dragon, she was born in the year of the dragon, a couple of tea sets and porcelain writing pens. Then we went to Walmart. Holy cow! Walmart is very busy, got juice, more formula and another snickers bar! I don' know which they had more of, customers or stuff! Mary brought us Jasmine's birth certificate in the afternoon and her medical records. We found out that she was the only child in her foster home. Foster families get paid about 100 yuan for fostering, roughly 17 dollars a month. We won't get to go to Fengcheng to meet the foster family or go to the orphanage. We took a bunch of pictures this evening in the hotel lobby at the spot where we received her on Monday, where we became her forever family.
