We arrived in Changsha yesterday afternoon and met our local rep/guide Anna at the airport. We are the only family here in Changsha with our agency so Anna will be like a person guide for us while we go through the process. We will meet up with the other families that we were with in Beijing when we travel to Guangzhou to go to the US Consulate to complet the paperwork. We already feel like it will be like a mini reunion with our families and seeing everyone with their new children.
Changsha is roughly 3 million people, which is considered a small city in China. We can tell the difference in that it does not have the level of western influences that Beijing has. In fact when walking last night we did not see any other casucasians and no one that we encountered spoke English. We will be very glad to have Anna with us here!
We have our room prepared for Hope with a crib, space to play and our hotel also has a play room on our floor for kids with toys. We are on the 30th floor of the Dolton which is one of the highest buildings in Changsha. it is crazy to see a place like our hotel and then look out the windows and see the little shacks and buildings packed in like they are.
