Wuhan again.
I've managed to stay mostly well this tour until today, but it caught up with me a little after yesterday's G.I. escapade. At lunch yesterday I ate something that didn't agree with me, or maybe it was just the cold starting, I don't know. At any rate, blood sugar was all over th map today so I stayed in while everyone went shopping and did a few things. Had some lovely alone time and surfed the web and uploaded pictures up through the Forbidden City trip. (I know, I know, I'm behind, but I'd rather be out doing and getting more pictures than uploading the ones I have.)
Concert again tonight at the Opera House. Not a bad venue, but Cello Chick was in tears over her cello. Poor cellists. I hope our manager has learned something from this little (*ahem*) problem. If someone's too cheap to buy plane tickets for the instruments next time he needs to kick their asses into submission.
We went back over to the music store to get a couple more things-- all out of Suzuki Books, but I got a nice xiao and another hulusi. (Oh yeah, I found out what all of those things were that we bought-- Melody of China has a nice instrument encyclopedia on their site.)
Decent concert tonight, even though we almost fell through tthe risers when the Mouth vaulted back to talk to the percussionist. We also got really snazzy red silk scarves from the company sponsoring the concert to wear during the second half, and we get to keep them!
On to Shanghai tomorrow, where the real shopping begins!
