Me and Mr.Chang
This is Payton with her favourite persone when she was a baby, Mr.Chang. Hey everyone, hope that all is well at home.
Today we went to the Fuling Orphanage. That's where I spent the first 13 months of my life. We went to the new orphanage. They built a new one and moved into it. The old one became a kindergarden school. The director at the orphanage that was there when I was there had already retired and was now living in Beijing. Madam Young was the new director of the new orphanage. She was very nice. We also got to see the gate keeper. His name was Mr.Chang. Mr.Chang was the only person that when I left him, I cried. He was also the man that saved my life. Another girl and I got sick and Mr.Chang took care of us. I could of died if Mr.Chang hadn't of taken great care of me. So he played a great role in my life. It was great to see him. Even after 10 years, he still looked the same.
While we were at the orphanage we also got to see the kids. We brought them candy. They were all over the candy . But not as crazy like at Parker's orphanage. They
A Child At The Orphanage
This is a child at the orphanage.
liked the candy that we gave them and we also saw maybe 4 babies. They loved seeing guests too. It was also nice to see the kids. But there weren't too many of them there. About maybe under 15 kids there counting the babies.
We also got to see the old orphanage where I spent the first 13 months of my life. It was a very colourful building too. There was also a playground there. There was also many pictures taken of me. In front of the building, in front of the playground, with Madam Young and many more. Parker and I also climbed about on some of the equiptment. It was really cool to see where I spent the first part of my life and being able to remember it.
On the way back after we took Madam Young back we saw Mr.Chang again. We stoped and Mom and Dad asked him a few questions. They asked how I was when I was a baby, and how much he remembered about me. He said that I was very active. Mr.Chang also told them that he gave me and the other girl that was sick nick names. Mine
A Little Girl At The Orphanage
This is a little girl at the orphanage getting her picture taken. was Happy Kid because I was always happy. I don't know what his nick name for the other girl was. Mr.Chang also said that most of the girls that come back to China are smart, active and a little bit naughty. It's true!!!! =) Mr.Chang remembered alot about me when I was a baby. Me, I didn't really remember anything!
Tomorrow we take another 12 hour train to Xi'An. We get the sleepers again!!! =D We get into Xi'An at 10:20pm and then the next day we got to the see the terracotta warriors. We get on another train to go to Beijing and we sleep on the train. Then we spend the rest of our trip in Beijing. Beijing is supposed to be alot like Shanghai. Lots of shops to see, more things that you can buy. We will be spending pretty much the rest of our yuan in Beijing. There is also the Great Wall that we get to see. So it's going to be alot of walking and lots of transportation in the next couple of days. Then the plane to home to Canada, and hopefully the warm weather!!! :D
