Melissa here... not too much to report today. Sunday is everyone's day off so we went on a little day trip to a place called "Splendid China". It is a really neat theme park that showcases all of the sites of China, such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. It also has a cultural village where you can see how the different cultures live(d). The girls from the office here organized the trip for us, provided us with a packed lunch and arranged the transportation. Camilla and Andrea accompanied us as did a couple of the therapists from the rehab room, Dr Lee and Dr Wong. They had a cable line that ran 260 metres long, and over a lake that you hold onto and swing across. George decided he HAD to do it. So Helen (from Ontario), Eduardo and Sandra (from Spain) and we convinced Dr Lee and they all did it while Andrea and Camilla watched in absolute fear. It was quite funny. And they had a great time. It really was a good day- the weather was beautiful and there were so many trees and beautiful gardens there. Tomorrow is back to therapy, only two and half more days of therapy until we go home so George is determined to work his butt off. Wednesday is his last stem cell treatment, and it will be by IV. Then we are going home Thursday morning!!!!!
Above is the mini version of the great wall of China, which is in Beijing. We supposedly were able to see it from the plane on the ride in but we didn't have window seats.
This is a building in the cultural village, I thought it was beautiful. This is more the scenery I was hoping to see in China.
