Well tomorrow we leave. I know it sounds weird, but I have mixed feelings. I love Guangzhou and will probably never be back here. It makes me sad... But I miss my crew at home!!! We met Jophy at 11:30. She took us off the island. That means we walk across the bridge to the other side. This is where the locals live in Guangzhou. You see scorpians and snakes and cats for sale to eat. The buildings are over 100 years old. We went to eat at the mall and the table beside us was full of Chinese men smoking cigarettes. Emma looked at them and immediately put her chopstick in her mouth and started smoking it. Jophy said... "What is she doing?" We said, "She smokes chopsticks, straws, spoons, and toothbrushes" Lunch was great! Emma ate more than all of us. I was able to talk to Jophy about maybe hiring Sarah as a frelance guide in Henan and bypassing the travel agency so that she gets paid for Henan and can pay her driver. That way the ones who do the work actually get paid for it. She said she would definatley do it differently and not use that agency again and she has Sarah's number. Jophy is so wonderful! I will really miss her!!! When we got back, Keith went for a massage and Ellie watched movies. Emma got naked and ran around the room giggling. Keith got back and said, "Why's she naked?" She just took them off and didn't want them back on. What a change from the first day we got her when she screamed when we tried to take off her clothes.
We're gonna take the girls to the park and maybe the White Swan playroom again before dinner. We need to get the "RED COUCH" pictures of the girls in their traditional silk outfits before we leave. We also have to pick up the boy's gifts we ordered and drop off some film. It's cheaper to develop here. If I don't get to blog tomorrow... We'll see you soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
