Jin Ying Hotel Guangzhou

HI everybody!

Yes yes yes! Long ago are the days of milking the Horry County School system for a weekend conference trip to D.C. or Atlanta. Nowadays here in Asia, travel is so cheap and convenient that Teacher Weekend Workshops are held all over the continent. And the #1 place that I wanted to go since arriving in Thailand is China. I was finally able to go this past weekend. I attended a weekend workshop at Shekou International School in the Shen Zhen district of the People ...

But why would I do something that I have planned to do? Instead I headed into the Park and Shop shopping building and as I was ...

... some of our favourites from our last trip, the 10 Inversion Coaster and the Half Pipe. Queues were short because people were leaving the park to watch the circus so we had no wait for either ride.

I wasn't sure if she was finished, so I decided that I would wait for 5 minutes or so, then start to put my shoes back on.

The 'foot' massage ended up being a total of 70 minutes, all for $5. Ah, life is good in China. Until next time, Gaye
