Last full day in Harbin






Thursday was the last full day of our stay in the northeast of China. Friday afternoon we will fly south to Guangzhou, which is near Hong Kong. Guangzhou is where Tiana will receive a medical check-up and her travel visa to immigrate to the U.S. She will also take the U.S. citizenship oath! One week from today, we will finally be home. (The poor girl thinks we live in the hotel.)


I've included a picture of the hotel at night, which is located on the bank of a major river. Another photo shows a tour boat house illuminated just down the street from the hotel. We visited the biggest Russian Orthodox church of the East today, also pictured, which is now a museum. And as you can see by the other pictures, Tiana and her family are getting along great. My favorite Chinese phrases are; "Qing qing Baba" (cheeng cheeng baba) which means "I want to give you a kiss daddy" and "Wo ai ni" (woh eye knee) which means "I love you." Music to my ears.
