Monday in Nanchang

Today was much more laid back than yesterday. We had some business to take care of in the, but in the afternoon we were able to relax and enjoy the day.
Our first stop was the Chinese Civil Affairs Office to finalize the adoption. There, we had a short interview with an official, a family photo for the adoption certificate and a small amount of paperwork. Lilah is now officially ours.
The next stop was to apply for a Chinese passport for Lilah and to have that notarized. Once that was done we went into a Walmart that was just a block down from the notary office to buy a few things.
The Walmart was nothing like the big box stores back home. This was in downtown Nanchang which is a city of 4 million. The Walmart was on the second and third floors of a shopping/apartment tower. They seemed to have just about everything for sale, though the prices tended to be about equal to what you would pay in the states. They also had a lot of unusual food items like whole ducks, live seafood of all kind a huge assortment of dried meats and fish. The store was very busy, but what amazed me was the number of employees. There must have been 3 or 4 employees in every aisle actively helping people find things. When we were looking at baby formula, there were no less than 6 employees in the aisle and as soon as they saw us, one of the employees ran off to get another who could speak a little English. Amazing!
After Walmart, we went back to the hotel, had some lunch and took a nap. Everybody was very tired and needed to catch up on sleep.
Tomorrow is an "off" day as we need to wait a couple of days for Lilah's passport. We plan on taking it easy and just go walking around the downtown area and maybe go swimming.
