Shopping with Ann from www.redthreadchina.com was just as fun as it was last time. She found us some amazing deals on jade pieces, pearls, silk clothing… it was a blast! I can’t fully describe the shopping experience with her… she’s a teeny tiny lady, she is FAST, and she knows her stuff. She was hilarious to be around… and she’s a tough cookie. At one point, she had us crossing three lanes of traffic in the middle of the road… no crosswalk. It was crazy! She also kept having us all (three ladies, two babies) load into a taxi really quickly, so they couldn’t refuse to take us, after having one cabbie decline to take us because he thought it was too short of a trip. And we had one cabbie who was talking to himself a lot, so when we were leaving the cab, she told him “We think you are really crazy because you talk to yourself”. Ha! She cracked us up.
After shopping, we had a dinner cruise on the pearl river. It was a buffet dinner, but I wasn’t adventurous enough to try much… but the view from the front deck was amazing and it was nice to be out in the cool air. Zhilu had fun on the deck, though he was pretty ready to get back to the hotel room to play a bit, since he’d spent a whole lot of the day cooped up in either the sling or the stroller.
Check out the funny face Zhilu is making in this photo… It cracks me up!
This is a picture of my friend’s son and Zhilu… we got so many comments today with people thinking they were biologically related, or twins. Aside from the white hair, they really don’t look alike at all, but we just smile and laugh. Tonight, as we were walking back to our hotel, the two little guys were playing a little back and forth yelling/grunting game. It’s really the first time they’ve interacted with each other, even though we’ve been around each other a ton the past few weeks. It was super cute!
Big day tomorrow, so I’m going to cut this short… only a few more days until we are heading home… Can’t wait to see my girls!!!
