Last day in Pingguo

The flight from Nanning to Shanghai wasn't until the evening so we had an easy day of packing before we left A Wu's home for the last time to go to the airport. A Wu's and Lin Hong's family accompanied us in two cars and we had a sad goodbye (at least for me).

And that was it. A flight to Shanghai followed by a flight to London the next morning. But I'm so glad to have been able to spend all this time with the family here and it's really helped Leilei (and me) bond with many people. Who knows if we'll ever be able to do this again? That was the main reason for prolonging my stay. And I have no regrets!

Last night in Pingguo

It had crept up like a tin of baked beans...it was our last night in Pingguo. A magical two months that had turned into three months had to come to an end.

We went for a meal at A Ni's parents' house and I played with A Da, sadly knowing it would be the last time for many months at least. The meal was good except for the lamb's blood, but would have been better if I'd not known we were leaving imminently.

Our last evening meal

We were sent off by another outing to KTV but it just didn't do it for me tonight. Even though there were women (drunk or drugged judging by the way they danced), I just didn't get into the mood.

Oh well, I will not complain. It's been a great time while it lasted. And we still have one more day....
