Being "tourists" with the Kleins


After our week of being the non-hired help, Matt joined us for the weekend. We finally got finally got some well-deserved time off from scrubbing floors. It was also my birthday on the 7th. Although it was a weird birthday, I was so happy to have my friends to share it with. We spent the day in the city and then went to this amazing mexican restaurant in Shekou (the neighborhood we live in).  Technically it is the ONLY mexican restaurant in Shekou and perhaps Shenzhen, but it really is fantastic. We ended the weekend with watching movies and eating a lot of junk food and cookie dough. It almost felt like we were back in the states, almost.

In Luohu by a giant shopping center (the bargaining kind).
Caroline, Eric and I all bought wallets.

At Window of the World, a place to see all the world's famous buildings/structures
 in exact miniature. One stop shopping! Yes that is the Eiffel Tower.

An exact replica of something in Indonesia...or was it India, or Thailand?


Look, now we never have to go to India! Eric at the Taj Mahal




Eric could have actually pushed it over
