Family's visit/vacation 2009 - Day 2 (25 Dec)

It's Christmas Day!

We picked them up for morning breakfast, and brought them to this restaurant which Marcus had gone to (when he was part of the brothers' team for the wedding of his colleague, this was where the brothers had their breakfast).

The food is not the best here in Foshan, but the atmosphere was truly one from the past.

This is the view from the veranda in our dining room.

The table in the veranda. This used to be the bean grinder that's used to grind soyas etc to make milk in the past.

Mummy had finished eating, and here she is feeding the kois and enjoying the scenery.

Cousinly love!

This is one of the decoration items placed at the entrance of the restaurant. This is a bridal sedan used many many years ago to carry the brides on the wedding day.

Photobucket
Mummy can't shake off her occupation hazzard! She went behind the counter, and promptly asked "yes, what you wanna order?" Haha.

After breakfast, we brought them to 西樵山 to view the giant Kwan Yin.

Notice the two idiots playing a fool in the background? haha

Photobucket
Writing our wishes to be thrown up on the tree. Our wish is billingual. Half in English, and the other half in Mandarin. Haha. Some more I needed help to write the correct words in Mandarin!

Photobucket
We spotted some people lighting firecrackers, and it was super loud! This is a shot of when it just started.

Photobucket
The grand finale

Photobucket
The cleaner sweeps majority of the debris into the blackened hole in the wall

Photobucket
Kenny uncle decided to buy a firecracker and light it too. Here they are discussing the best way to light the fuse.

And after that, it was off to 上下九 for lunch and a bout of shopping before returning to the hotel to reset.
