Two days before leaving (Wednesday), Kerry cleaned up the kitchen a bit, and I swept the floors. In the afternoon, we visited with Roopa at her new place at the SISU Hotel. It seems much nicer than the place we currently have, which makes me wonder why they couldn't have put us there in the first place. She has two TVs, for example...and they work! It was great to visit with Roopa; she's another person whom we'll miss dearly. In the late afternoon, Kerry went off to his last game, and around 5 pm Deborah came by to collect some of our stuff. Then I had dinner (more leftovers). Richard came over later in the evening; we shared some whiskey and a Chinese beer. I'm going to miss him; he's been a good friend to us here. Fortunately, though, we scheduled a goodbye dinner with him--and Peter--tomorrow. Kerry came home a bit after 10, sad that his final D & D campaign here in Shanghai is over.
Then came that day: the FINAL DAY before we leave. We spent most of the day cleaning, but we had a nice early dinner with Peter and Richard. We had to go to Starbucks first because Beijing De Xin Roast Duck wasn't open. But once it opened at 5, we had some fun: ate duck, their scrambled eggs, tofu, potatoes. Richard ordered some green beans; Peter some bamboo. We also imbibed wine and beer. It was a good goodbye. Once Kerry and I got home, we finished cleaning and took pictures for Ms. Yang. We're sad to leave...but I think we're ready to go!!
