Anniversary Dinner

Gavin and I celebrated our 18 year anniversary a few nights ago. We went out to dinner at a Thai restaurant called The Terrace. It is on the plaza at Seaworld and we ate on the balcony. It was o.k. food but the atmosphere made it all. We ate out on the balcony overlooking the plaza. This is the view from where we ate. It wasn't too hot that night. The temperature read 31C which is about 93 F. Add 100% humidity to that and you've got a typical evening in Shekou. Actually that was a cool night. We are about two blocks from the bay so we do get a little bit of a breeze every once in awhile.

The evening was fun. After we ate we walked to Old Shekou and Gavin got his hair cut. The hair places here stay open until about 11:00 each night. Someone had suggested this place and he walked right in. They took him back to wash his hair and asked if he wanted the head massage (which is an hour long massage and hair washing). He passed on that but they washed his hair and then had a hair cut. The guy was so precise and careful. It was amazing to watch him. After they cut his hair they took him back again to wash his hair and ears to make sure all the hair was off and then blew dry his hair. All that for 35 RMB which is only $5.oo. Can't beat that. You can go and get your hair washed and an hour long head massage for about 45 RMB ($6.oo) They will also style your hair before you leave. I've heard it is really nice.
