Shenzen - Sunday 14th October 2007








Shopping in Shenzen - what a frantic experience! The bus was due to leave the hotel at 10'0clock for the drive to Shenzen Shopping Centre. We were dropped at about 11 o'clock at the Felicity Hotel opposite the centre which was to be our meeting place at 4 pm in the afternoon. We all shopped until we dropped. There is so much to see & learning to barter with the shop owners was a unique experience. I was just getting the hang of it when it was time to leave. We all arrived back with a varied lot of shopping bags all full of what we considered to be essential items.
Then it was time to go back to Dongguan for dinner and Judy's birthday cake.

Images attached. Des at the shopping centre; part of the group having lunch in the shopping centre; some of the girls ready to go shopping.

Those reported in my journal today were; Doug & Robyn who slept in and were late for the bus, receiving a slow hand clap from the rest of the group; Ron Beechey fell over a fence at the Shenzen shopping centre trying to help move the golf clubs; Frank lost Helen at the Felicity Hotel, sent us into the hotel toilets looking for her, only to find her waiting for him on the bus;
