We stopped at a magic shop that Tim knew about (and where they knew Tim) because he wanted to pick up a new trick because naturally Tim is an accomplished amateur magician and of course he’s planning on putting on a magic show for the orphans.As planned, we met up with the rest of our crew at 5:30 for a Peking duck dinner. People who know nothing about Chinese culture all seem to know about Peking duck; its reputation is legendary. I was pretty stoked to finally be having some authentic Peking duck. Tim of course knew exactly where in Shenzhen to get the best duck at the best price.
I must say, it was pretty extraordinary. Plum sauce, duck with the crispy skin. Mmmmmm. So good. And all for the price of what I am used to paying for a McDonald’s combo meal.
It had been a full day (and all this after spending the morning at the school for the Academic Fair).
Annika and I made our way home exhausted, full, and with no more China entries left on our passports until we ponied up more money.
Like I said to one of my colleagues on Monday morning “If you haven’t done Shenzhen with Tim “Mr. Hong Kong” Wong, you haven’t really done Shenzhen.
