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.
