Today is our last day in China! Breakfast in our hotel is a very special experience because the restaurant is located on the 49th floor and has a great view of the city. The food is also super yummy, probably the best breakfast buffet yet.
In order to get the most out of our day, we adventured to a crazy market to experience shopping Chinese-style. Negotiating for a price both you and the seller can live with is the name of the game. We did pretty well and came away with some good buys. However, when we were finally ready to head back to the hotel there was a deluge waiting for us outside. We braved the rain and Jessica did a great job hailing a taxi. The taxi ride was pretty hilarious and included a TV screen with interactive advertisements. At one point the taxi rode through a street/river that had so much water that it came into the car! We laughed hysterically and tried to get some pictures of the eight inches of water flowing through the streets. After making it back to the hotel safely, we headed to a restaurant next door to have our last dim sum meal in China. Then, it was time for another afternoon nap (love those!). When we woke up, we packed up our suitcases, had dinner at McDonald’s and are now totally ready to head home tomorrow! Val's excited to experience the longest birthday ever as we cross over the international dateline :).
