A bag of fish anyone?

If they all rolled together as one, they could escape like Nemo.

A bag of fish anyone?

A solitary goldfish in a plastic bag just doesn't compare does it?!? OH China. How I love thee.

Mmmmm....double steamed milk. So tasty that I returned to the same restaurant twice to order it! Some people came in just to eat this one dessert. Guangzhou is known for its delicious food and rightly so - pure YUM.

You clever ancient Chinese peeps!

This simple hook *amazed* me. The hook was used to hang meat and fish with the upside down bell shape being used to keep ants from getting at the meat since it would be filled with water! GENIUS.

Keep Your Eyes on the Road!

Jim sips a beverage as we leave Guangzhou for Hong Kong (the vehicle we are riding in is from Hong Kong and the steering wheel is on the right side of the van instead of the left, so I was not driving carelessly - although Kimberly said she "freaked out" every time she looked up and I wasn't watching the road)

Unusual Treats at the Local 7-Eleven

They sell some delicacies at the convenient store down the street from our hotel that you just don't see in the States (vacuum-packed meats - pork chops(?), chicken feet and wings, and duckling(?) across the top row, with spicy little fishes in the middle of the next row surrounded by something that resembles rolled beef jerky, among other unidentifiable items)

Grace's Ponytail Cleans the Glass

Grace just fits underneath the glass desktop (the ponytail on top of her head that brushes the under-side of the desktop reminds me of the antennae at the top of the pole of a bumper car that brushes against the metal ceiling above)

Shamian Island

Wide boulevards and lots of tree lined streets with fancy colonial-era architecture. Didn't really expect it from Guangzhou!

Shamian Island - Jenny's Place

Kimberly, Renee and Grace pose with "Jenny" after buying out the store (we spent a lot of cash at this shop, can you tell by the size of the pink bag in Kimberly's hand? ..... and the smile on Jenny's face?)
