We’re going out with a bang here – literally. Our last night here and out on the beach in front of the hotel they saw fit to send us off with about 20 minutes of fireworks. I think its the closest we’ve ever been to a show like that and it rivaled anything we’ve seen in Seattle for size.<\/p>\n
Today was a great day, probably the nicest one since we arrived. With the sunshine, it really felt like a beach resort. There were even people using the quad runners and jet skis on the beach. Out of curiosity, I asked what the rates were, and for 10 minutes on the jet ski, they charged 120 yuan (a little over $15). We figured that would be a good policy to adopt in Bellingham as well, so come summer $100\/hour seems like a fair price (Brooklyn save up your money).<\/p>\n
We’ve decided to head out tomorrow morning for Guangzhou. Not the most glorious of places I am sure (it is part of the area where all the factories are), but there are still some things we want to try and find to buy and it seemed like a better place to find them than Hong Kong (cheaper anyway). The plan is to spend a day there and then move on to Hong Kong for the last few days before the long plane ride home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
