Lambert's Buffet style x 10!

Our meal last night was great!  My parent's friend, River and his wife and daughter picked us up at our hotel and we drove about 30 minutes out into another district of Guangzhou.  There was an actual "Outlet" shopping area with Adid*as and Ni*ke stores.  Then there was this restaurant, which was named Four Seasons International House.  There were lots and lots of local people eating here.  River told us it was the best place in Guangzhou.  You bought your tickets then went to another counter where they assigned you a table.  Once you were inside, there was hundreds of choices for food.  It was a great choice, because then we could just pick our own food and we didn't have to feel bad if we didn't like something.  Huge restaurant and so much food!  The popularity of it reminded me of Lambert's in Ozark, but the buffet style was like Ryan's on steroids :)  We had a great time and a nice visit with River.  He is counting on my dad visiting next year...that I would have to see, my dad in Chi*na!

Today we went to the pearl market where I just bought a few things for my friends, and also went to a shopping mall where FuXing got some new shoes.  No, he did not need them, but he wanted some that tied because all the other boys traveling with us have tennis shoes that tie.  He has some waiting for him at home also, but not sure if they are the right size.  We at lunch at Pizza Hu*t with our friends the S family.  We are making good friends again on this trip.  Adoptive families just rock! 

Tonight is our group dinner at Cow & Bridge Thai restaurant on the island.  Tomorrow is the medical exam (finally!).  FuXing will probably have to get some shots, but hopefully not too many.  He told our guide he is not afraid of shots.  I believe him.

It is finally not raining today, so Kevin just took FuXing to the pool.  I am headed that way to get some pictures and stick my feet in the water.
