Dinner Anyone?

Hot Wheels----who knew this was the way to little boy bonding? Within 5 minutes, Josh had Weifeng playing cars with him, back and forth, back and forth.

The Hardings are hungry! Hey, Susan said there was a KFC within walking distance, only 8 minutes. Let's go for it! Wow, the concierge has a map to show us how to get there, and he said it is only 8 mins also!

A few little problems with this plan...

1. We can't read the street signs.

2. The people we asked for help, don't speak English and our Mandarin is very limited.

3. There is some kind of street construction going on around here and there is this gigantic blue wall all around it. You have to walk a very far distance to get around it and you can't see over it!

These 3 problems combined equal 1 hour walking tour that doesn't equal up to dinner. Oh, we stumbled upon the KFC only to find that it is closed, as in reconstruction, as in dirt, lumber and the like inside the windows.

I just want to get back to the hotel, but Chris somehow talks to this Chinese lady who starts leading us around. How do we tell her to stop!!! We don't want to follow you!!!

All of this leads to us back at the hotel and a dinner in the hotel restaurant. Why didn't we just do that at the start of the night?

We still all love each other even though it was touch and go there for a few minutes with a hungry belly.

This poor kid must be wondering what he has gotten himself into!
