May 18th and 19th‏

On Tuesday, we went to the silk factory. I bought 2 silk dresses for Karine. We then went shopping at the pearl market. They sell pretty much everything. It was really busy and it's not very relaxing to shop as the vendors are always in your face. You can bargain for a price but after a while, it gets really exhausting. After shopping, we came back to the hotel for a little rest before heading back out for the acrobatic show. It was a very long day. Karine did great considering we started our day at 9:00am and got back to the hotel at 9:30pm. She LOVED the acrobatic show! Her eyes were fixed on the stage the whole entire show. She barely blinked.
Today we went to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. I have never seen such a big crowd! It was really beautiful. Karine was not as happy as yesterday. She fussed quite a bit today but I know she's probably tired from yesterday. Tonight, they're having a going away party for all the families. We'll be receiving our children's paperwork tonight as well. We need them for tomorrow. Our flight is leaving at 6:00pm on Thursday. If everything goes well at immigration in Toronto, we should be arriving in Ottawa at 10:00pm. All the other families are soooo ready to come home! I just pray that she'll sleep on the flight. I'll post one more time when we get home.
