Day 9 Christmas Eve in China

This post is a couple of days late. Day 9 was December 24, 2010.

 
After breakfast we explored the area out by the pool. It was decorated for a big Christmas reception.
 
Bubbles are really fun.

  
In the afternoon we went to the zoo.

We saw many animals including the famous Chinese Panda who is a celebrity here in China as well as the US.
      Brothers are always willing to help and play with Maggie!
After the zoo we went to have an authentic tea experience. Guangzhou traffic is crazy as promised. The Asian games were going on when we arrived and traffic was regulated in the following way: license plates ending in an even number took alternating days with license plates ending in odd numbers. This decreased the traffic for the first few days. Now the games are over and traffic is bad.
Just like every market we’ve been too these streets are lined with shop after shop that is the same (to me anyway). These just sell and serve tea.
Maggie sat on her own chair and watched for a little while before she decided to throw a fit. A long day for her!
We liked the tea very much and Meghan and Mike bought some.
