\"\"<\/a>Yesterday, we went to People’s Hospital Number 1 because Maureen had an appointment to see a dentist, Dr. Chen. \u00a0Our FAO chief, Athena had made the contact for us so that we could see if Maureen could have some dental work done locally. \u00a0 \u00a0We got there good and early though there was no real appointment time. \u00a0When we made it to the fourth floor to the Stomatology Department, we got to meet Dr. Chen, also known as “George.”<\/p>\n
