Medical and shopping day

This morning was Zoe's medical check required by the Embassy for immigration purposes. She received a clean bill of health from the doctor. She weighed in at 8.8 kg (19.4 lbs) and is 72.5 cm (29 in)tall.

After lunch we went to the silk market by taxi for some souvenir shopping, only to discover that it is no longer cheap! As bargaining is the name of the game there, we managed to pay about 1/3 of the asking price each time, but still felt like we were being hosed with every purchase. Stuff is not as cheap as it was 7 years ago, good thing we got lots of souvenirs then as we won't be spending that much this time.

After we got back from shopping we had to try on the purchases for some pictures!

Tomorrow is the Great Wall and jade factory.
