Another day, another venue, another hotel.
Shenzhen wasn't really remarkable today for anything except a reasonable venue and a nice hotel room. We drove here from Guangzhou by bus on a highway that wound through fields of banana palms and sugarcane. It only took about two hours to get there and the hotel was a welcome sight.
The hotel was downtown and around the corner from a supermarket, so we stocked up on crackers and chocolate and oranges, and of course bottled water. You can get half-liter bottles of water for about 2 RMB there, as opposed to 20-50 RMB in the hotel. Nice markup, right?
The hall was pretty nice and the concert well-handled, so we had a fairly good time. the only thing on most of our minds, though, was the fact that tomorrow we have a day off from playing, even though we have to schlepp back to Wuhan by plane for a corporate buy-out concert at the Opera House.
In light of our day off tomorrow, the Klatch decided to hang out in the bar over a couple of bottles of wine. Who knew-- the Chinese have their own wine industry, and the red wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The white was worse.
And now that I have a head full of wine and a head cold, I'm off to bed to snore until tomorrow.
