Good News Henry!! He Likes Cats!!

Correction: Run for your life Henry!!! He's obcessed with cats!! We visited the Shamian Island- which is by far the coolest part of town. The man made island was originally built to keep all the foreign businessmen out of China, and somewhere along the way was under British and French rule. So the architecture is beautiful, kind of New Orleans meets Charlestown. 

There wasn't much to do on the island but shop- so Chris resumed his need to bargain with the shop owners. And that is where Li found the kitty. It was love at first sight, and Chris and I were thoroughly relieved that he wasn't allergic ( one of the things that would have been disasterous since we have a 14 year old cat named Henry that we are not interested in giving away). 

Although the kitty tried to get away, Li followed him around for at least 30 minutes, and there were serious tears when we left. 

While shopping we also got the kids some traditional Chinese clothing. 

Oh- and we learned how to say Caramel Frappacchino in Chinese: Caramel Frappacino!! Ha!! 

This was the end of the Chinese Labor Day holiday, so back to business tomorrow (thank god!!).
