But we weren't done yet! Because it was on our way home, we decided to stop at the Mitsui Outlet Park, a big modern shopping mall along the coast. Wenxin wanted to get some dinner (and boy, did she get dinner!) while I got a Baskin Robbins 31-Flavors ice cream cone.

While Wenxin was eating and I was having my ice cream cone, Mei-O and Mingqi disappeared somewhere down this concourse. While we were awaiting their return, Zhiwei and I stepped outside to view the port and some of the ships that were docked there.

When we came back in and Mei-O and Mingqi still weren't back, I went looking for them. I found them at a shoe store where Mei-O was buying a pair of shoes. She bought the pair she's trying on here. Once the sale was done and Wenxin was done with dinner, we could finally continue our drive home, but not until after Zhiwei bought us one more snack (chicken nuggets) to try.

It was 6:30 when we got back to the hotel, Mei-O carrying her shoes, and Meihui carrying some goodies she picked up during the day for Wenshuang and her husband. We started the day when Zhiwei picked us up at 9:30, and after all our adventures, we were all tired. Mei-O and I said goodbye to Meihui and Wenxin and headed up to our room.

Back in our room, Mei-O ate some of the 枇杷 (loquat) that Lisa the restaurant manager brought her this morning, while I drank some ginger tea Mei-O just made. And that was how this very busy day ended.
