Medical Appointment - Saturday

Our first appointment in Guangzhou was Saturday morning at the medical clinic. Each child is examined at the clinic before the consulate appointment for US Citizenship. Our travel group of 8 families left the hotel at 9:00 to drive to the clinic, each child has a picture taken for the US Visa, three medical exams and children older than two receive a blood test. Makenna was not real happy Saturday morning so the process was a bit of an ordeal. She especially hated the blood test (can really blame her for that!).

All the kids played in the lobby after the medical exams while our guide completed paperwork. Our next stop was to buy some groceries - this grocery store was like nothing we've seen before. On the fourth floor of a very high end department store is a grocery department!  Makenna loved the race car shopping cart! We bought some snacks, noodles and drinks to take to our hotel room.

Saturday night, our whole travel group went to a Japanese Hibachi steakhouse for dinner - it was very good!

And, if the medical appointment was too overwhelming, don't worry... There's a vending machine for that...

(Yes, that's really wine via vending machine!)
