Safe Arrival in Chengdu

Hi everyone,

We safely arrived in Chengdu, China. We took three airplanes to come here, Seattle - San Francisco, San Francisco - Beijing, China, Beijing - Chengdu. In total, it was a 16-hour airplane ride.  We took the first airplane on early Thursday morning and we arrived in Chengdu at midnight on Saturday morning. We lost Thursday and Friday during our journey! China time is 15 hours ahead of Seattle.

 Today is the fourth day since we arrived. Jay is having a hard time adjusting to this time zone. He is very sleepy during the day and wakes up at 3 am. So, it's been hard to find a good time to go outside but yesterday we were able to take a walk near our hotel. It was a beautiful spring day, 27 degrees!  
This is "Tianfu square" which is located in the center of the city.
Jay had his first hair cut in China! He really liked it! It costs 8 dollars for a cut! 
We took a break at Starbucks. There was a big line in front of McDonald to get soft ice cream!

    We enjoyed seeing the photos. It looks like a very different place than Seattle. We were surprised to see Starbucks and McDonalds.
