Day 14: Blogging and Shopping
After breakfast, Phil headed to the theater. I had blog posts to catch up on. Well, pictures to upload into them. I keep up pretty well with the typing of them. I had to be in the lobby for wifi, so I settled down in this beautiful little set-up:
After lunch, Lena, Alan, Shak and I went out shopping. We went to a place called Wuma street, which means five horse street. I don’t know why. I didn’t see any horses.
The boys went off to the men’s stores, and we went on our merry way to the girlie shops. We got some good finds :) Call was at 4:30, so we only had about 2 hours to shop. Sigh.
On to the theater!
We think it looks like an accordion. Or an armadillo.
The theater was beautiful.
I went and bugged Phil in the booth.
And I was even able to help him out! He couldn’t hear the house very well from the booth, so he stood out in the house and told me what to adjust.
Sorry for the creepy eyes. I was actually dancing.
Paul brought me my camera later, and this is what Phil got for asking him.
But it’s a pretty cool shot :) Paul is the drummer, and a pretty funny guy. He makes us laugh all the time!
I went outside once it was dark to take more pictures. Usually they light up the building after dark.
There was a pretty view of city buildings, as well.
After the show, and then dinner, we went out to a place called Blue Shell. Their selection of non-Chinese beer was impressive!
Ellie and I dressed up, for once. I got to wear my new dress and shoes from Dongguan :)
At first, it was just our usual group.
Then, all of the dancers showed up!
(This isn’t even the whole group. Some were outside, some in the back room,)
What a party! It was super fun. However, Phil was exhausted from the day so we headed home at about 1am. I know. But everyone else stayed out until 3am or later. Craaaazy! We wanted to get up early and go see some sights, so we played it safe :)
