Today is my last day in China and I spent it doing what I do best, shopping! I went to the markets to get some last minute Christmas presents as I had packed earlier that morning and knew I had space. I found a stall that had some gorgeous handbags that were really cheap and went a bit nuts and bought 6! I also found a stall with some really lovely earrings and it was only when I got home and was packing that I realised that I had bought 13 pairs. They were so cheap, it was worth it. Although squishing everything into my suitcase turned out to be a lot harder than I had thought!
I then had to go to the phone company with the modem to get the internet disconnected, which took an hour as no one spoke English and my Chinese is nowhere near good enough to explain what I wanted, so it was through mime and Pictionary that I eventually got them to understand. I then went to the bank to see if I could get my money before I left, I managed it but again it was a really slow process and they were not happy that I was closing my account! By this point I was exhausted, it really takes it out of you trying to get things sorted at the phone company and the bank! I got home at 6pm and finished my packing and then had an earlyish night at 10pm as I have to be up and ready to leave for the airport at 3am!
