 An online friend is leaving soon to adopt her child from Anshun City, which is where our daughter is, in Guizhou Province. She is packing pictures of our daughter to take with her in the hope that she may see her and be able to take some photos for us. It's a long shot-but it would be really awesome if it worked out! So I was looking up information on Anshun City, above, and Guizhou in general. The description is so very Chinese in nature, I just had to share it: Guizhou is not one thing or another, it's near the border with Vietnam but not on the border and in the mountains but not the high mountains, it has a somewhat transitional climate too, between the tropical and the continental types.
