Our group had a trip to the Doctor's office this morning for a quick (very quick) exam. The visit is a requirement for all visa applications of adopted kids so the place was packed. We all got in line and visited three stations. The first was two ladies who weighed and measured. At the second a doctor checked vision and ears. The third station is where the oldest and wisest looking of the doctors checked heart, lungs, and cranium size. I think she passed. Eliza got progressively more and more upset as the poking continued. I think the leopard print pants make her feisty. The doctor didn't mention it, but she has a healthy cry.
On our way back to the hotel Jane and I saw some folks out for their morning exercises. It's something we watched in Chongqing as well. This country is so great that even the adults have play grounds. Swings, spinny wheels, and other things. Back at the public plaza in Chongqing we also saw a group of middle aged and older ladies, a few hundred, doing choreographed exercise dances to loud music. One of the moms from our group joined in. Another small group of ladies did synchronous dancing with red cloth fans. The men didn't dance but stuck to the exercise equipment or simply walked briskly while rhythmically swatting their own arms or chest to get the blood flowing. I might get out there and join them tomorrow morning.

WOW I had no idea they did this! Sounds like a healthy way to be.
