Not much today. We were supposed to go to Shamian Island to do a little more shopping, but didn't get to go. Hong Kong is only 3 hrs away and they got hit with a typhoon yesterday, so we've had alot of rain yesterday and today both. As a result, Shamian Island had some street flooding that prevented us from going.
Instead, we went to a Chinese folk art museum. It wasn't very big, but it was neat. They had some beautiful embroidery, which China is famous for. The most amazing part though, was the ivory carvings. They were extremely intricate and absolutely unbelievable. Unfortnately, I have no pictures. Since we were supposed to go shopping today, and go there tomorrow, we did not take our camera. Trust me though, the carvings were something else.
Another thing we found out - Coffee shops are not really coffee shops here, they're bars.
Our paperwork goes to the consulate tomorrow, so we have to hang around the hotel room in the morning, in case there are any questions about any of it. We actually go to the consulate ourselves on Friday.
We have our last group dinner tomorrow night. Things are winding down here.
