Stuck in Beijing

Again a terrible night. I let Sienna watch DVD. She wouldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard I tried to calm her down. She continued to bug me about going to see Grandma and Grandpa. The whole point of coming to China is to see them. And now she is stuck in a place called Beijing. On the phone with Dad, she asked him to come and pick us up – she just wants to go home if not Grandma’s home. I said we were going to get airplane ticket today. So she got up and started packing thinking we were going right away. "We are leaving. Shshshsh… We will give them a surprise."

Julie and Deirdre continued to tour the city, well, the Forbidden City anyways. I stayed in Lilly’s house with Sienna and we had lunch there. Then we set out to Una’s place. Meanwhile, Lilly will take Julie to a place to do some shopping. We were supposed to meet at 5pm. Lilly somehow left her cell phone at home. She was worried that I was not able to get hold of them. So she stood in the heat outside for about an hour for someone to send her cell phone. But that person misunderstood her and tried to send the phone back home.

Anyways, everybody was happy that I did manage to find all of them for dinner at a restaurant. We had a good photo session afterwards. Everybody was happy.

At this point of time, I decided to skip my tip to Shanghai and take Sienna back to grandma and grandpa first.
