Adam and I spent the weekend shopping!!!! Shop till you drop and we did! We also went to the peoples park! You can see the last pic is Adam and I on the love bridge! It was a lovely park and there are a few pictures from there- they had a tree that got hit by lightning and I didn't get a picture of this but instead of wearing diapers here the kids just have a slit in the back of their pants so when they need to go they just squat and go- wherever they are, in the middle of the walkway,on the steps, on the grass, no problem! I was shocked when I saw this puddle from this little child in the middle of the sidewalk! haha You wouldn't have to worry about the costs of diapers or wipes! And there is Vera, May, and Blanche our good friends that love to show us around and us girls love to go shopping. I do not like to bargain though! After we went and saw the outside of the Kite museum (which Weifung is famous for its kite festival) we sat on these statues and had to wait to get off because people wanted to take pictures of us. We went to the shops, and of course because we are American they jack the prices up and I can't even bargain because I don't speak Chinese! But I just pointed and Vera, May and Blanche would bargain for me, but if they knew we were together then no budging on their outrageous prices. I decided I don't mind paying a little more for better quality and no bargaining! It has been fun going around and just seeing Weifang.
