The announcement is saying, “Ladies and Gentlemen, Flight 5566 is delayed due to airplane confusion, stay around for further notice”
We are at the Xiamen airport waiting to get to Shanghai. The airport id new, modern, has OLED TVs and sparkling clean glass windows.
Stampede of Street Vendors running away from the Police
Birds, flowers and Fruits remind me of childhood in India
The morning and the day were spent taking the ferry back to Xiamen and then having a feast for Grandaunty’s 90th birthday. All the relatives gathered at the restaurant and the feast included oysters, sea worms, octopus, sea cucumber, stingrays and other stuff that I did not dare to ask about. The food, cake and company were all wonderful. We had to rush out because I did not want to be late. But, here we are just waiting. . .
Grandaunty's 90th Birthday
Gloria found Starbucks :-)
Greenie’s family’s hospitality has been very gratifying. Her cousin Sofia planned everything and the rest of the family has been running around taking care of us. (And Greenie is exhausted, grumpy and sleeping :-D)

10pm:
We are in Shanghai. You know you have been hanging out in a city for too long, when the hotel receptionist recognizes you and gives you the same room as the week before. :-) It has been a long day, but coming back here feels like coming back home. We had a great time in Xiamen and Gulangyu, but it is time to head back home…this is the first step towards home.
