An Incredible Dinner and Reunion with Work Colleagues

On Sunday evening, we met up with Cathy and Ruby and their families.  Ruby was Vicky's assistant when she owned her own business, and Cathy and Vicky have worked together for years - they even live next door to each other in Vicky's building.  We went to one of the restaurants that Wen Feng (Vicky's cousin... we saw his new apartment last year) manages.  It is in a huge building that houses nothing but restaurants.


Our banquet room was a large space with an impressive dining table, spotless decor, and a spacious sitting area.




Vicky ordered, and then we visited for a while as the meal was prepared.  What a meal it was!  This restaurant really paid attention to presentation and each dish was a masterpiece.












Again, I was the group photographer and Ruby and Xiao Liu posed with their daughter (______ I forget her name), and Cathy and William posed with Cathy's daughter Harmony.  I had the honor of giving Harmony her English name.  She said she likes to sing and her Chinese name (______ sounds a little like the word harmony).  She shared a beautiful rendition of My Life Will Go On at the end of the meal.





After dinner, we went downtown and visited with Wen Feng and his wife's family.  Guangzhou's TV tower (in the distance in pink lights) was all lit up so I grabbed a quick photo.
