Day Eight

Upon arriving back at the hotel and feeling the need to have a cup of tea and relax, we went over to the outside cafe by the river and had a seat. Next thing you know, this older very well dressed Chinese lady jumps from her chair at the table next to us, grabs an empty chair and shoves it right next to Bill. She is waving her hands instructing her companion to take her photo with him. Over and over in this pose and that. Bill's wondering if she thinks he is the Pakistani President hahahaha...

Now, all during our trip through China all of us Americans have - believe it or not - been asked by the Chinese to have their photo taken with us... Kathy and I were particularly popular and we found out it was because of our blond hair! But why this lady was so insistent to have her photo taken with Bill we can't figure, other than he sure is a handsome guy!! Turns out she was the president of a lingerie company that was in the planning stage of a big fashion show at the hotel next month...several of the models were there and practicing on the walkway. Of course I handed out Lindsay and Lace business cards to everyone, and encouraged them to follow this fashion trend setter from LA !!
