The One Stop Gerkens Shop: Or our family events in a nutshell!
Stroll Through Xin Tian Di
After we visited Renee in the hospital, we strolled through Xin Tian Di, a renovated district full of fancy shops and restaurants. The facades of old buildings remain, but everything else is modern.
We ate our first Chinese meal, which was elegant and delicious. About six waiters and waitresses hovered over us, catering to our every whim. They were mesmerized by the kids, and two even got to hold Jacob, giggling all the while.
Our last stop was the electronics market, just across the street. We strolled through three stories of densely packed shops, all containing bargains for the Western tourist.
This You Tube video is long (about 6 minutes), but if you view half of it you'll get an idea of our walk.
Indonesian and a lot of stuff in between, and nuttier than fruitcakes. Those who marry into our family beware. But, we have kind hearts and souls, and will give the shirts off our backs to those we love and cherish.
