Well Shuan and Peggy did make it to Guangzhou to meet the Ambassador
and his wife Sisi. We had dinner on Sunday night and breakfast on Monday morning. attached you will see the pics i have of the meals and i also included the pics of the jerky Shaun was kind enough to bring the
Ambassador. I very much appreciated this kind action on his behalf. We had some fun and Shaun can fill you in on the details and post the pics he has.

So is this going to be the expected thing from the brotherhood now?  We go visit ambassador Ted and have to pay him jerky to have the honour of wearing a nice flowered shirt with him?  HAHAHA

Oh Dear !!!!!!

I apologise for unleashing this blistering attack on your shirts Guys:icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin:

I had no idea it would draw so much attention and put your sartorial elegance under pressure :huh::huh:

Just to level the playing field..............(I got shirts like that too)

I suppose I would wear something like these but I do not want to look like a foreigner here:angel:  

But maybe its the fluff below their noses that is detracting from that certain elegance.   Cue Sweeny Todd!

On reflection I am sure the complete SWAT team from Hawaii5o hid under them in the final episode!!!

Well Shaun its not to often you see 2 very fashionable good looking guys
                together with their ladies in China, so it provoked a lot of
                jealousy here with the kids    hahahahahaha

Hey, you guys trying to start a fad....You do stand out in a crowd.  I noticed Shaun changed shirts in short order to a red one.  Is
this some sort of statement Shaun....LOL.   One other item, Shaun, your not married yet, watch where your putting your hands...I see
the look on her face...haha....:icon_cheesygrin:

On a serious note: Very nice photo's, Shaun your a lucky man, Ted your wife is beautiful.  But I'll take the waitress.  She would make
me want to eat even if I was'nt hungry.  I am glad for the both of you.  Send more photo's, specially the ones where your getting
arrested...haha :icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin:

Don,

Look closely.  All of us changed clothing.  That is the way it is with the social elite.  Of course I am sure you do not understand. :icon_cheesygrin:

I was representin Georgia in China.  GO Bulldogs!!!!!!!

We told the waitress about you and she ran off screaming.  I am not completely sure why. :angel:

Lucky?  Absolutely.  Peggy is great, even when she is angry.

So Shuan,

How about an update!  From the tone of your message, things are going great...but a little confirmation wouldn't hurt!

Post by: shaun on April 06, 2010, 06:04:50 pm
Had difficult day 5 and have been with her family.  Leaves little time to post.  I am working on it.

Also clothes shopping has taken a little time.  I didn't realize how how jealous men were of my Hawaiian shirts. :icon_cheesygrin:

Ted, out of curosity, what do they have in China in the way of beef Jerky?  How do they make it, what is made of and most
important, what do they think of Jack Link beef Jerkey and the taste?:huh:

Shaun, I didn't know that beef Jerkey was that prized in China,  you could be rich if you had enough to sell.  Wonder how hard it
would be to get a Jack Links franchise there....hummmmm :huh:

By the way, who won? Ted or Sissy ?  lol lol
Title: RE: SHAUNS VISIT IN GUANGZHOU

Don,

You will have to ask Sisi.  Ted will lie about it. :icon_cheesygrin:

Ted,

Yes I will post photos here I am choosing to spend time with Peggy rather than edit photos.  I type when she is asleep or cooking.  Right now she is cooking supper.  She is a phenomenal cook.  I may kiss all other ventures goodbye and open a restaurant when she comes to America.  She is extremely good.
