The Gifts!

How could I forget? Gift giving is a part of Chinese culture, but this trip was over the top! Everywhere we went there were gifts, small and large, to commemorate the moment. Guangjie, Mindy and I made a late night dash to Walmart to get some heavy plastic shopping bags to carry home all the gifts. I am pretty sure all of this won't make it back to the US in May.....

Yangzhou CWI gave each girl a HUGE stuffed bear!
Mounted photos
The city of Yangzhou gave us a beautiful lacquerware fan (a local art) with a famous scene of Yangzhou. Yes, this one is going home with us!
