On Friday, Flick and Ali, the two Australians who worked with the tenth floor, asked us to supper. We ate at one of the restaurants ten minutes down the street.
Simmer pot (Not Hot Pot) They put all of the ingredients in the hot pot and cook it in front of you.
Bull frog!! It does not taste like chicken. It had a light flavor and a fish-like texture.

Flick and Ali knew about what conditions all of the kids had, so it was interesting to finally figure out what “problems” these children had. I also heard that morning that Jiale might be adopted. I asked Ali if this is true. She said yes, but it won’t be for another year or so. She told me not to tell Jiale, because she didn’t know. However, Marissa, Donna’s (the American who is in charge of the tenth floor) daughter, said that she did know, but she didn’t believe it because it had been so long. Hearing that just broke my heart. Jiale was one of the older girls on the tenth floor and was always helping take care of the little kids. She definitely deserves a family.
The next day we went to Yuntai Mountain and had a picnic undera frozen waterfall that included a peanut butter and jelly mantou sandwich, fruit, and crackers.
