It was another very lazy day at sea. The first real event of the day for us was Dr. Kam's 3rd lecture on modern China. The highlight of that lecture was his presentation about the matchmaking done at Peoples Park on weekends. While the success rate is very low, it's a very busy social time for the parents.
The 2pm event was "Backstage with the Cast" which is a Q&A session with the cast members and the opportunity to go back stage. We stayed for the Q&A and because we had been backstage before, we elected to do other things. I got in line to speak with Jeremy about Shanghai activities, which Angela went to the gym. We also had the opportunity to catch up on our reading while listening to Adagio.
Empire of the Sun was the movie and we were able to watch it at 3:30pm and it finished at 6pm. Since it was Gala night we normally would eat in the Main Dining Room. However, we checked out the LIDO and they had lobster and filet up there, so we skipped the Gala night in the Main Dining Room and ate in the LIDO. I have to confess I ate 4 lobsters (but they were small).
Classique was the Cast show on the Main Stage and afterwards we went up to the Crow's Nest to watch the sail in up the Huangpu River to our berthing location near the Bund. It was a bit smoggy, but the building lights came into view and we docked at around 11pm at the International Cruise Terminal. Along the way, we were able to use our portable internet device to check email and Facebook and the like.
Tomorrow we have to go through immigration and then we are planning to travel independently to see some things we've not seen previously. Stay tuned.
