Medical Exam - done!

Well, I don't know if we make all foreigners go through a medical exam but Will and I felt like GIs ready to get checked into the army. In order to get a residence visa we had to get a medical exam. What does that entail you might ask? We got blood drawn, an US of the upper GI/abd/kidneys, chest xray, general exam, blood pressure check and an EKG. It wasn't the latest equipment, but not too bad. Not sure how often everyone washed their hands....but it took about 30 minutes and cost each of us (well Dell paid for it) $90. I'm guessing it would be a lot more in the US. We get our results in 4-5 days. Definitely the experience. We also went to our first restaurant where NO ONE spoke even a little bit of English. We saw the infamous chicken feet on the menu in various forms. I had pork lettuce wraps a la PF Chang style. (one of the few things that looked safe - but what kind of pork, right?). It actually tasted pretty good and a much spicer version. Will had some shrimp dish and we paid about $12 total. We are off to take a nap (still recovering from a little jet lag) and then off to meet with the Bank to open an account. We may travel to "The Bund" this evening for dinner (touristy section of town).
