Sorry, Aaron, there are no new iPhones here yet.

Todd King: You are the garbage man. You are the garbage can.

Music is my life!

Well, folks, that is about it. We are about to go to sleep and we have to leave here at 5am (that's 5pm eastern time on Thursday night) to get to the airport for our flight from Guangzhou to Tokyo. Then we are on to Detroit and then to Richmond. We have really appreciated all your comments and encouragement and we can't wait to get home. We will probably update the blog from the beach if there is internet access.

Out for Shopping

This guy tried to give me some lip but I called upon the power of Naruto and we destroyed him.

As a commemorative gift, the hotel provides "Adoption Barbie" dolls to all new mothers. The box sates it is NOT A TOY and is for AGES 14 AND UP. Adoption Barbie comes with a Chinese baby and 5 inch pink heels.

This is downtown Guangzhou in the shopping district, their version of Times Square, and quite bustling at all hours of the day.

We ran into our old friend Jon Kroll in front of a department store, doing the Chicken Dance to attract customers, much to the delight of all, especially the store owner, who is curiously low on squirrel nuts and Stalin cigarettes since Jon's arrival.

The shopping areas are very Chinese, including the ubiquitous KFC, McDonald's, and (not pictured) Pizza Hut.
