Long Day to get to Shenyang

We have learned that Chinese people seem to find that leaving a table in a restaurant with bowls, food spilled, plates all over and trash from their meal all over the floor is acceptable. For example a table of five had at least 8 napkins thrown all over the floor with food that dropped. This would be a great sample of what NOT to do in our school cafeteria! : )

Just a funny: Upon leaving the restaurant yesterday we almost stepped on a small Pomeranian type dog running by U.S.. There appeared to be no owner (for those of you that know me well... Not good for me to find a dog without an owner because then I must help it). The owner was actually there about 100 yards up waiting for the dog (much to Bob's relief). She was reprimanding and "shooing" the dog along. Her method of "shooing" was shaking a large, red 20" balloon attached to a 3 foot stick at the dog (no, I am not kidding! )

Today we traveled to Shenyang, a little more North in China. We met the other members of our group too! Everyone is so nice and it is definitely more comforting to be in a group. Even less English speaking people here in this town. The flight to Shenyang (today) was just over an hour, but we also were delayed due to storms. Lots of waiting. 

Ironically, one of our group members asked to pay tonight when we went out to eat and the waiter said "oh, two more beers??" We died laughing!! (backstory in previous post). 

Tomorrow we meet Emma. ❤️
