If anyone is around and want to save me from my boredom my chinese number is 187 0201 0036. Got april 20, 21 and 22 off from the fair. Probably be finished my meeting tomorrow in Shenzhen and back in hotel by 3pm. There is only so much hennessy a guy can drink by himself LOL

on another note I feel like a baller with so many hundreds in my pocket. Then I rememember its 6 to 1 Things aren't really cheap here. Maybe its because I haven't really gone far just staying at the four seasons and go to the gt land mall (i think thats what its called) most things are more expensive then Vancouver.
You're totally not seeing China's China. lol. Dunno how adventurous you are and if you still have time, but if I were you I would definately use the last day for a local day trip, soak in some of the culture and see how the 99% of the non-elite locals live.

That being said, seeing as you don't speak the language, I wouldn't just walk out on my own, ask around your hotel to book you for a day tour, with an english speaking guide. Sure it will be much more expensive (it is four seasons), but it will be much safer and the guide/tour won't be scamming you around.
