Lily, Matt, Ian and Debby arrived about 1 AM last Monday and we have been walking,
walking, and walking ever since. Their company has been wonderful and it reminds
me how much I miss everyone.
It would be impossible to list all our adventures, just know that we have been having a good time.
Lily found her wholesale vinyl store. Matt found out that he can use the metro system easily. Ian found a good
jacket. Debby found that she can move outside of her comfort zone, and love it.
Some highlights have been:
Shopping for pearls.
Taking our country drive to a mountain village called Xi Tou Cun.
Enjoying a traditional Cantonese dinner to celebrate Ian, Lily and Don's birthdays. Thank you Grandpa!
Loving the Safari Park Zoo, rated one of the best in the world. (We all agreed!)
Having a foot massage.
Visiting the tomb of a 2000 year old emperor.
Seeing traditional Cantonese treats, music, buildings and neighbourhoods.
Witnessing the great annual migration (at the train stations) that comes every spring festival. (Chinese New Year)
Seeing the lights, red lanterns and the beauty of the city for New Year's Day, today.
Cruising at night down the Pearl River and seeing the brights lights.
We have yet to visit Canton Tower, surely one of the most beautiful and iconic towers in the world.
Tomorrow we will go to Hong Kong, by train, for an overnight visit.
Stay posted.
