Friday, we were exhausted when we got home. We both slept in until about 11:30. We were starving at that point so we decided to venture to get food. The problem is...western food is hard to come by and there really is not very much we can eat. Jenny and Steve usually have food around the house but they didn't that particular day. We went exploring to find a Papa Johns with no luck. We decided to hop on the metro and go to our favorite little western place, Tomatoes. It was thriving with action as there was a big fight outside involving some Chinese men, a foreign woman, and various Chinese police officers. We couldn't really follow, but were more interested in the fact that police officers were just kind of standing around watching. They weren't stepping in at all to break up the fight. I thought the Chinese police would be a little more intimidating...but they really aren't at all. We haven't been asked to show our passport on the street yet, but we've met several foreigners who insist it happens regularly.
After some pizza and brushetta, we headed home and toyed with the thought of going to Hong Kong to party for the night with some people we met in Yangshuo. Liz and I had our first little fight of the trip because we wanted different things. We managed to work it out and decided to stay in GZ. Jenny had a movie producer come into her work at Wall Street and ask if she knew any Americans that could help him film a movie trailer to present to film makers in HK. She volunteered us, so that night we went and met the guy at Starbucks. He asked us both to memorize all the lines and told us we would be shooting tomorrow! We were kind of freaked out. Liz will go into more details about the movie shoot in the next entry.... lets just say things are not always as they appear.
