After searching on the net found some touristy things to do, and decided it was time to master the metro. I found an Irish pub in a place called Coco Park, so we decided to taxi there and have a few drinks and maybe a meal. Was closed for a staff function when we arrived, but we found a western guy who directed us to an italian restaurant. The food was OK, nothing spectacular, but a welcome change from McDonalds, Pizza Hut and KFC (which I will never eat again, it doesn't taste quite the same....) We found a bar and had a few drinks and played a dice game that is very popular. Atmosphere wasn't that great and another guy directed us to a club down the road. We got a little drunk, but overall not that merry. After sleeping off our hangovers,Pizza hut for lunch, was time to brave the metro. Hayley has gotten quite good at copying chinese characters for when we need assistance. After a little help we mastered the metro, and headed for 'Window of the Worlds'. Cost about $70 for the two of us, but was well worth it. The place was huge, and heaps to look at, there were some rides, some shows and really well done models of all the monuments of the world (quite large, we walked over Sydney harbor bridge!) We spent 6hrs here and still didn't see everything. As it got dark, everything lit up, really pretty, and we took a lift up the Eiffel Tower (to scale) and the view was fabulous, we could see Hong Kong. There was also an ice skating rink and snow boarding slope. The sky cleared and we saw our first stars in weeks, this really cheered me up! We caught the metro home, and it is really quite easy. Food still an issue.....McDonalds for dinner. Today the sun is out!!! We are staying in Shenzen an extra couple of nights, heading to Happy kingdom amusement park today, and will try for the irish pub again for dinner. Love to all! xxxx
