Andrew called again this morning (Thursday night in Nanjing) to say that they had a much more enjoyable day today. They started the day by traveling by bus to GaoLi International Headquarters. When they got there they took of tour of the GaoLi Furniture mall and watched a performance of the trained seals that are in a pool in the middle of the mall. Afterwards they went back to the headquarters building for lunch, which Andrew said was quite good. They met Mr. Gao's personal assistant, who speaks English fairly well. They played more ping pong and also took Lear's car for a drive around the parking lot of the building. Mr. Gao's assistant then assisted Lear in planning the rest of the day's events. They first went to a very upscale department store mall. But it was too foo foo for the boys and the asked to be taken to a "knock off" mall. They were whisked away to the new mall and had a great time shopping. Mr. Gao's assistant helped then bargain for things they wanted to buy. That evening they went to Nanjing's riverfront for dinner at a dim sum restaurant. Andrew said it was a very large restaurant and the food was, in general, enjoyed by everyone. He said that everyone was in a good mood when they returned to Lear's house. Some of the boys even went to the local store to buy some chips and soda.
