Our farewell dinner at the end of the tour, in Shanghai, was provided in the Quianhe Hotel's dining room. Evidently, a businessman was marrying a young bride while he was staying at the same hotel, and was celebrating the marriage in the same dining room.

He was so formal and reserved, she so young and seemingly more carefree. To our culture, this seemed very unusual circumstances, but perhaps not locallly. Anyway, they were a handsome couple and we wish them the best of lifes.

Good Wishes to China and to all that we saw. It is now homeward bound and we hope that the newlyweds are as happy as we.....
