Yesterday we went to the Lowman Temples and the shao lin Temple, the shao lin temple is where Kung Fu started, so all you kung fu panda fans eat your heart out. It was amazing to see more of Jake's home province. This was the first time though we got a lot of stares and people wondering why American's were taking Chinese babies....
The temple was / is too beautiful for words.. I can't wait to show you pics. The boys there start going at very early ages to become monks. Parents start to send them there around 3 years old.
we were gone for 12 hrs and now Jake has just realized I'm typing again so we'll see how long I can continue.
He is continuing to open up more and more and now he is at least playing with Ken. Ken showed him the wonderful game of shells (hide the medicine bottle under the block) a big favorite.
He continues to look to food to comfort him and we are starting to not use it as much.
We also are having lots of funny china stories as we almost got run down by 2 buses trying to pass each other as we were in a extended golf cart that was out of battery and going so slow the flintstones could have beat us. In fact the guys started to put their legs out and peddle the cart.
well I guess we are done, time for a nap. Tomorrow we fly to guangzhou which is the capital and we stay at the white swan until the following Friday.
