This is out of order but I didn't have a chance to post on my birthday for those events. It was an odd day with all of us pretty concerned about the long flight home. We started the day with a trip to the toy market. This was pretty remarkable really. With Kai leading the way in decisive fashion we searched through market stuffed animal vendors to look for a "realistic" stuffed animal for him to bring home. We are proud owners of "Whitey" now, a white tiger. He also scored a godzilla like toy who is apparently not really Godzilla as he has but two fingers and the real Godzilla has three. A bag of candy was also scored.
After toy shlepping we were headed toward a cab when I felt a presence close by. I felt a hand venturing into my front pants pocket. Turning my head I saw a guy shadowing my closely trying to pick my pocket. He immediately put his hand in his own pocket and started to pretend to kick rocks and then went behind a truck. He wasn't successful but it was one of those sort of complete your trip experiences. The afternoon found me still looking for Dramamine for Kai and I purchased some carsickness patches in hopes that the plane ride would be easier for him.
Our last dinner was at Lucy's, the Americanized restaurant a short distance from the swan. We ate there a lot as they have grilled cheese sandwiches for Kai. Nothing spectacular about the food but a lovely place to eat outside. We danced to Huey Lewis "Heart of Rock and Roll" once Yun Zhen started grooving to it. Kai and I also danced and then we walked along the river and watched the lights for our last evening in China. Then it was off to pack up for an early flight.
