Last night Amanda took Lila & I out to see a light & water show. I guess that's the best way to describe it. Imagine a football field set up with lights & water fountains that are syncronized to music. Like Crown Casino on a mammoth scale. Kind of. Sort of. Maybe I should have called them dancing water fountains as that's what the water seems to do - dance in time with the music. You know, similar to what they do with the fireworks on the Sydney Harbour bridge at New Years eve?
Yep? Nup?
Okay........so moving on.
The next photo is a shot taken with one of the many statues near the big water thingy show. I am sure there is some meaning to the statue but I have absolutely no idea what it is.
Right then. This is looking like my most informative post ever.
So after the water thingy & statue photo shoot we went to an Indian restaurant for dinner (even though it was about 9pm by this time) where we met Amanda's friend Michael (God what is it with that name? - they're everywhere - they're like a plague - if I had a dollar for every Michael I met........). Any hoo he runs a program in an orphanage in a place I can't remember the name of (I probably can't even pronounce it) that is in another province from Xian, so he was just visiting. His parents Susan & Anthony were visiting him so they came too & my goodness what lovely people. We got to talking about stuff - as you do with complete strangers - & they want me to visit them when I am in the U.S. How nice is that????? They live in New Jersey not far from my friend Sybil (aka Ruthie) - Michael even went to school in the town that Sybil lives in. I wouldn't be surprised if they know each other. Small world & all that.
