Flight Day/ Jayden Tomorrow!!!!!

We got up around 4:30 AM to finish up some packing and eat breakfast before heading to the airport. The drive to Beijing airport was quick. We said our goodbyes to our tour guides, Cecilia and Alice, then headed toward airport security to wait for our flight. 


We arrived safely in Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan province. We were met by our tour guides, Yisha and Rita. We quickly got on a bus and headed towards our hotel which will be home for the next week. After a 40 minute bus ride, we pulled up to Crown Plaza. It was very old and in need of a good cleaning and fresh update. We unloaded our luggage and then decided to eat lunch at a little restaurant inside of the hotel called Momma Mia- Italian. It was kind of ironic ordering pizza in the middle of China. Nonetheless, it tasted pretty good. Once we finished our meal, Joel headed to the bank to exchange US money for China RMB currency.  Once Joel arrived back at the hotel, our group walked to Walmart which was located about 3 long blocks from the hotel or about 15 minutes.  IBM not sure if we could ever get used to seeing all of the different meat hanging down from the ceiling and the stench of skinned animals. We founds some things for Jayden and left hastily. Once we got back to the hotel, we endulged in Ramen noodles (lol), took showers, and time for bed. Tomorrow will be a big day!!!
