Hi all - I just got back from a two and a half hour Chinese full body massage that Zhou arranged at the health salon for me and a couple other of the women (just for the record, it was very professional - all clothes stayed on AND we were covered by towels), which was had for 120 yuan - that's approximately $15 to you and me. So although I was pummeled to within an inch of my life, it felt fabulous. So let me recount the day before I forget how to type.
It was a very mellow day with nothing scheduled. Greg and Liann and I walked around Shamian Island, went shopping in the morning and just played in the room. She's happiest when it's just us three hanging out, I think.
In the afternoon, Liann and I had some mommy-daughter time while Zhou took the boys out DVD shopping. Greg came home with 23 DVDs that cost 75 cents each, including some movies that have not yet been released, like War of the Worlds - hmmmm. . . . It's kind of a crapshoot as to which will work and which won't, but for 75 cents, who really cares. We'll have screenings upon our return for $5 a head :). Add to the day a lovely dinner with Zhou and a couple other families at the Victory's wonderful Chinese restaurant, and an indescribably wonderful massage, and I'd say it was a pretty fine day.
