Thursday

Thursday was a dreary day with lots of rain. we still managed to venture out for lunch with another family to an Italian restaurant adventure. They were out of what I wanted. So I got some sort of funky chicken with lots of ginger. S was nice enough to eat it and give me his spaghetti which was somewhat normal. We hit Haagen Daz and Starbucks afterwards.

We had a LONG supper at the Japanese steakhouse (think Kobe's) located in the "Underground Town" below our hotel. At 7:30, our group boarded a bus to see the sights of Chongqing. We had a harrowing ride up a narrow, winding road, across two rivers/several bridges to the top of a mountain. We got some beautiful night light shots.

Two drunk guys came up to J and started hugging and rubbing his face. S had to push them away. They laughed at me when I said "no" in Chinese. All of us were tired and ready to head back to the hotel for sleep. J fell asleep on his new friend Hannah on the bus.
