We are here with two other families from our branch in Shekou and we wanted to go into town for dinner. Of course we always are looking for a good deal and fortunately one of our friends here is from Laos and speaks Thai. Her husband served a mission in Thailand so with the two of them speaking the language we can get some pretty good deals. We went out in front of the resort to get a taxi and she was able to talk a guy into taking us into town for half the cost of us getting taxis for all of us. The only glitch to it was that we had to all pile into his small seven passenger van. There were 14 of us going. It was quite the cozy fit but we did it. It was like those clowns at the circus who all pile into the small car but it was for real. Without seatbelt laws we can do anything.
