Jayden Erik Shuai : Visa Appointment & Oath 4/10

This morning we had to get up super early for our visa appointment today. We got to the US consulate office here in Guangzhou at 9 AM. When we pulled up to the US consulate building, we saw tons if Chinese people already in line to apply for visas to enter the USA. Thank God we didn't have to wait in line with all of our kiddos. They were already getting impatient from the bus ride. Once we entered the building, it only took about an hour to get all of us through. This process seemed to go much easier than I remembered with Gianna. Once we all finished, we headed back to the bus to go to the hotel.

The next item on the agenda for today was to go to our departure meeting at 11:00 AM. We are one step closer to returning home to our other kiddos. We are so homesick for them.

After the departure meeting, we took a taxi to the local Walmart. Interestingly, there is only one Walmart in Guangzhou. The Walmart was actually located in the basement of a shopping mall. Outside of the mall was a Starbucks on one side and a Pizza Hut on the other. Once we finished shopping at Walmart, we ended up taking a pizza back to the hotel. A few of the pictures below were taken in Walmart.

Once we finished eating pizza, we took Jayden to the hotel playground. We don't think he ever played on a playground before as he seemed to struggle a bit with how to swing and climb up the ladder for the slide.
