Leaving for GuangZhou- Nov.8th

The morning begins at breakfast with Alissa's stalker. Actually he is a waiter who is very creepy but nice guy who has an apparent crush on Alissa. He finally cornered her and asked for her email address. We gathered our bags as Faith had a bewildered look about her. Im not sure if she thought we were leaving her or if she actually sinced that she was leaving her hometown. After using sign language, as the orphanage did, to explain flying she settled down. She enjoyed the flight as we played with playdough (she liked dad's animals the best)and ate snacks. I believe she thinks we are going home.WE WISH WE WERE GOING HOME!!WE MISS YOU ALL!! Little does she know, we have one week left of this squatty potty pilgrimage! Oh, I forgot to mention our potential foreign exchange student. Actually, Michael, our tour guide wants to attend college in the U.S. and also has a crush on Alissa. (he timidly requested a picture with her before leaving) There is no lack of male attention on this trip. Much different than the U.S. I think shes enjoying this or at least it's good for the self-esteem. We arrived at the Victory Hotel at 5:00p.m. and enjoyed a delicious western style meal at Lucy's. It feels much more like home here except all of the Mandarin we have learned does us no good, as they speak onlyCantanese here.
