Day 11 - Physical Exam and Sight Seeing


今天一大早起来,在宾馆的餐厅吃过早饭,于9点半跟着向导去给安娜体检。安娜对体检好像轻车熟路,对正常的身高,体重,听心跳,耳鼻喉等检查,一点也不害怕,而且很配合。最后是按海牙公约要求扎免疫针,当她一看到针管时,就开始大哭,一气扎了3针,真是可怜。扎完后,我赶紧给她一块糖, 很快就好了。 体检后,领养向导跟着我们填了很多表格,并准备了许多必备的材料,准备明天去美国领事馆签证用的。多亏有个向导,他经验丰富,省去了我们好多麻烦。中午饭后,安娜睡了3个小时,然后我们到附近的公园玩儿。莉娅和安娜玩儿得很开心,一直玩到吃晚饭时。晚饭吃的是粤菜馆,菜很精制,非常好吃。晚饭后,我们来到码头,乘坐油轮畅游珠江。夜色下的珠江两岸,高楼林立,灯火辉煌,景色非常迷人。
This morning, we got up early and had breakfast at the hotel. We then went to the medical center with our guide at 9:30 to do a physical exam for Anna. Anna seemed very familiar with all the general exams such as weight and height measurements and body checking. The last step was to complete all the immunization shots as required by the new Hague regulations. As soon as she saw the syringes and needles, she started screaming until all three shots were over. I gave her a piece of candy as a reward. After the physical exam, we returned to our hotel to complete all the forms with our guide for tomorrow's consulate appointment. Our guide is very experienced, and with his help, we saved a lot of time and trouble. After lunch, Anna napped for 3 hours. We then walked to a park and playground nearby. Anna and Leah had a great time until we had to leave for dinner. We went to a Cantonese place for dinner; the dishes were delicately made and tasted excellent. We then enjoyed a river cruise in the Pearl River. It was very beautiful along the river; there were a lot of beautiful architectures and colorful lights.
