Today I visited the Six Banyan Temple. Everywhere I go, I smell incense. I had fun though.

The following statues are famous. They weigh 400 rice bags each. I still weigh less than 1/2 a rice bag.

Well, I didn’t do much shopping. I just went to look at the market and see what other people were buying. I did get these nice fancy shoes though.

And this is how they look on me (and how they sound when I walk):

This is the market place, although you’re only seeing a tiny fraction of the whole place. This was recorded through my stroller cam:

And I made a new friend too.

I also like riding up and down the escalators.

After having breakfast, I decided to go for a quick stroll. I walked over to the little bridge to get a closer look at the waterfall.

Then I went back to the room. While waiting for everyone else to get ready, I watched some TV.

I visited another park today. The place looks nice and colorful. The ponds even have fish in it. Can you see them?

I had to show my mom where they were.

Another kid was showing me how to make bubbles.

I also had fun riding around the park. I want to go fast, but some of the hills were steep.

Inside the greenhouse I had a nice leaf comb my hair.

I had my visa picture taken, and had a quick physical exam. I didn’t cry like those other babies.

I’m having breakfast at the Cascade Cafe in the Garden Hotel. I had melons, noodles, steamed buns, and even some chow fun.

Today I leave the city I was born in, and the only city I have ever known.

We went to the park today, and while I had my nice new stroller, I decided to go for a little walk. Even though I had my hat on, it wasn’t that cold.

It was actually nice outside.

I don’t know what this woman was doing though.

I enjoy my breakfast because they serve congee. Sometimes it’s fish, sometimes shrimp, but this time it was chicken.

I guess I’m too heavy at around 21lbs for my mom to carry me around. So we went to a department store close by the hotel and got a stroller. It’s comfortable. I got in it right away.

I visited the adoption center again with my parents. It’s a little different now that I don’t have to wear 5 layers of clothing.

I don’t have many toys yet, and the one I play with the most isn’t even a toy. It’s the television remote control in the room.

But at the adoption center, I liked the big bouncy toy ball.

Today I met my mom and dad. I was running around playing with other kids when they showed up. I was on my best behavior. I didn’t cry at all at the center. Other kids were crying though.

On the ride back to the hotel, I was very curious about my surroundings. I looked everywhere. But then I got tired. I yawned a couple of times and fell asleep in my mom’s arms. I guess I stayed asleep all the way into the room and into the crib. I woke and saw my mom first. So I started crying. I cried for about 20 minutes. I took a bath during this time.
