Final Day - Valentine's Day Dinner

After saying goodbye to Mango, Fei & Damin, we returned from the fish dinner, drove across town and were met by Tony, Queenie, Tiger, Jason, Vicky's parents and godparents.  They set up shop for the afternoon to see us off on our final day.  Most played Mahjong while others looked at the book I wrote on the first visit.  Vicky and I packed and then opened our red "lucky money" envelopes.  We ended up with enough to cover Valentine's Day dinner.

So as evening approached, we walked over to the Chinese Steakhouse for a mixed Eastern & Western Valentine's day dinner.  The weirdest part of the meal (aside from having a first Valentine's Day dinner with 10 people) was seeing Tiger and Jason get served wine in a restaurant.  (There is no drinking age in China.)  Tony drove the parents home and Queenie, Tiger and Jason stayed with us for the night.

That's all I'm going to write... the car comes at 4:00 AM tomorrow for the start of the long journey back.  I might even get some sleep if the fireworks and firecrackers ever stop.
