The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia

Our last night in Guangzhou and I have to admit our “farewell dinner” was a bit surreal. We were in this odd hotel night club eating bad hotel food (Best Western I think) and there was some very strange Chinese Kareoke thing going on, which occasionally would cut over to topless European super models. The Le Coq sisters were dressed like Shanghi lounge singers – and sounded like the same as they belted out Hotel California.

And the China team handed out these little stuffed bears to all the girls. Ruby’s said “Cheesecake Factory” on the back. Anna’s had a Florida Seminole’s emblem on it. There was intermittent conga line and just a whole lot of families ready to go home.

I suspect if we hadn’t gotten so sick this would have been a fabulous trip and I am a tad bit bittersweet about leaving. But only a tad.

Next Stop? Home.
