The first full day in Shenzhen and a friend took me for a walk to a beautiful park near the school.  T'ai Chi in the mornings and concerts on weekends.  Plants that we have growing in our houses as tropical plants, flourishing everywhere here. More to come! The first BONUS question--an easy one. What year was Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule?  Write the answer down somewhere...you never know when it might be on a test when I get back!
