Everything is well

So not more than a few hours after my last post on Tuesday, I had another meltdown and went for a walk. I went to our guide (Grace) and asked her to please contact the orphanage director to see if Bing Bing was crying all of time. I was really starting to think that she hated us and I didnt think I could handle this for months. The orphanage director said that she almost never cried and was very independant. She enjoyed playing games when she ate. Anyway, I went and had dinner with another family and was out of the room for a few hours. When I returned, Bing Bing was smiling from ear to ear. She had eaten and was extremely happy. That was two days ago and she has really warmed up to us. She rarely cry's and mostly smiles. I don't know how long teething lasts but that doesn't seem to be bothering her for the last two days either. Yesterday we went to a really old Pagoda which was pretty cool. Then in the afternoon all of the girls and me went for a foot massage(which was really foot, leg and shoulder massage) 1 hour for $8. Last night Grace ordered Pizza Hut for everyone and we had a group dinner in the hotel and all of the babies got to play together. It is amazing to see their comfort level and little quircks change so quickly. I am sure that once we get back they will catch up quickly. Cha Bing is very smart, she has figured out how to take off lids and put them back on. I may give her a few quadratic equations and see how she does with that. She has 4 teeth on the top and 4 on the bottom. Today we went to a country village and wandered and met the locals. It was kind of depressing to see the hard life that these people live. We were invited into a persons home that had no electricity or running water(300 years old). It was very similar to living in a barn with many rooms, but these people were offering us cigarettes and asked us to stay for lunch. They have so little but are still very hospitable. There were dogs laying around, and one was chewing on a chicken bone. They don't know any better. We passed out candy to some of the people. We also stopped at Porcelan Street and picked up some nice chopsticks and a tea set. When I say it is hot here....you really cannot truely imagine how hot and humid. It is brutal. Also there are no driving laws. It is like the wild west. I have some video that I shot that is some of the most impressive driving ever seen. Were talking Goggles Pisano. Tomorrow is the 4th but I dont expect that there will be anything like we experience in the US.
