Monday, November 16th this is medical check up day on Sha Mian Island which is close to the White Swan Hotel. This hotel is known for where the adoption families used to stay. Sha Mian Island name means sandy bank from the Cantenese language and was formally known as Shameen Island. The territory was divided between France and United Kingdom by the Qing Dynasty government in the 19thy century. Back to the check up when we arrived we had to take them to get a passport picture then go to the health clinic. When it was Shelby's turn to go in she did very well. She did not cry until she saw the ENT doctor and put the stick in her mouth. After we were done we went shopping. We found several deals on things. But there was not alot of stores open there like I was told. When inquiring about them they said that alot of them had closed down due to the adoption families are not staying on the island. This is because the US Consulate is in downtown Guangzhou. The only thing left over there is the health clinic. There is alot of construction going on there to. Once we decided that we were done we got a cab and went back to the apartment. We relaxed and then had to meet everyone for dinner at 6:00.
