Physical Examination Day!

Good Morning Chinese Physical Examination Day!
(I and 4 other aliens...hmhm
needed physicals in order to obtain visas.)
There's not enough room in this little caption
to explain in entirety, the uniqueness of this experience.

There were separate rooms for each part of the physical.
Eye exams in one room, ultrasound in another, blood draw in another... each one, very Chinese.
I had a sheet of paper that I took around to each room to get signed when I had "passed" that rooms specific role. It felt like a grown-up scavenger hunt.
Pretty sure my coping mechanism for confusion 
and stress here in China has been laughing and smiling. 
A lot of that happened today...couldn't take much 
of it too seriously...had to just smile and laugh.
 Any way...back to story.
As I was scavenging around to get my paper filled and my personal space violated, a man/doctor I'm assuming, grabbed my paper and I followed him outside the hospital!!! to the bus pictured above. MY EX-RAY bus, that's a whole nother story...
And because I made it through the blood work alive, instead of treating myself to ice-cream (mom and dad) I celebrated with cantaloupe and dragon fruit. Mmm. 

I bought a cheap mortar and pestle today
so I could have a cup of coffee.
I don't have a coffee grinder or a coffee maker.
I work hard for my coffee.
It's a more olfactory experience this way too. 

Boiling the water.
Soaking the grounds.
Straining the coffee.
It's a good thing.
