Visiting Yi's family in Forshan

I keep posting because it continues to rain here and I am concerned I am going to lose what I have written. The meal was great and it was topped off by numerous toast of Hennessey Cognac. Yi's family were as helpful, welcoming, and gracious as he is. I learned Gon Bai which is probably spelled wrong but means delicious in Cantonese. We made our way back to Guangzhou that evening as I had to be up the next day to leave China via Hong Kong to Thailand my next destination for 8 days. My working time had come to an end after 7 weeks and now I would be on my own and on vacation for the next 3 weeks in Thailand and then again in China. I have been fortunate to have had such wonderful hosts for my time in the Philippines and China. It will be interesting to see what it will be like on my own without people looking out for my needs.
