This morning was our consulate appointment and oath ceremony. You are not allowed to take cameras in so there are no photos to show anyone. We were back at the hotel at 10:00am so we went to breakfast and then caught the bus back to the island to pick up our laundry and hang out. Longji took a picture with a gentleman named Michael. He owns one of the shops on the island and he remembered us from the last trip. We ate a snack at Lucy's and took a picture of Longji next to the motorcycle picture. He pointed to this picture and said "motorcycle" during our first meal with him two years ago. Since we are not at the White Swan Hotel where the famous red couch is there is no group or family photo opportunity set up by our agency; however, we did make a stop by the red couch and took some of our own photos. We didn't make Yiqun wear her silk dress because it is just too cold. She did have a mini meltdown earlier and we actually saw some tears. This is really the first time she has cried while she has been with us. Right now she is napping and Longji is playing with his Nintendo DS. We are eating dinner later with some other families and then tonight we begin the packing. Tomorrow is our train to Hong Kong and then we head home on Friday! I can't wait to be home again. I miss my family, my dogs, my bed and my American food.
