Every adopted child has to travel from their province to Guangzhou before leaving China. Here, they have a medical visit, get their visas, and receive their new country's citizenship. So there are many families who are in Guangzhou now, completing last steps.
This city has a different feel – much more international, and cleaner – but still huge, still not easy to navigate, and very crowded. Guangzhou has been a pretty place to spend our final week in China, but at this point, we are ready to come home. Local "Dim Sum" lunch: Consists of steamed dumplings of all sorts, filled either with yummy meat and vegetables, shrimp, sweet jams – or with something you need to spit back into the napkin as soon as the guide turns away. Mia has also been dubbed with "Dim Sum" as a nickname: she is definitely a little steamed dumpling. The girl can work up a sweat, especially when she's sleeping.
Dinner Cruise: hard to explain. Buffet with duck heads floating in the entrees choices, a Latina clown juggling show, and ice cream cones. Lots of fun and dancing at the end though, and pretty sights. 
Guangzhou will do, but truly we just can't wait to get home.
