She asked repeatedly, why did her mother leave the youngsters at home and took the two older children with her to Taipei in 1948? I didn’t have an answer nor dad. My heart went out to her.

Aunt Jennie swears by this method to maintain a healthy body and mind. She’s been visiting this Long Electromagnetic Waves Health Center 超长电磁波保健中心 for years. The store claims it’s the third medicine natural therapy 第三医学 自然疗法. There’s TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) and the commonly known and used medicine, which Chinese call it Western medicine.

Aunt Jennie loves this restaurant in Shenzhen, she talked about it a lot. It’s casual, clean and delicious. I liked all the food we ordered, except, the dumplings and dumpling pancakes – I’ve them better in New York.

Reportedly, Target is being targeted by 500,000 shoppers or people who boycott the store over their transgender bathroom policy. Ha ha ha … they should go to this restaurant – a little adventure. Male and Female are mixed in the same room. This IS a first for me, in any country, IF my memory serves me right.

Ok, here are the food for 3. Of course with left over. Long way to take them home but aunt won’t order less. There is a steak house on the same floor.

Shops at Shenzhen

IMG_4236
I’ve long heard about the shopping mall at Luohu. This one has multiple levels with not only shops but eateries as well. Vendors are not shy to solicit business. I liked a pair of shoes – similar to sneakers but the owner or sales girl was very rude and nasty. Oh well, I think the merchandises (LV, etc.) are all fake, counterfeit.

We had lunch elsewhere tho – at a northern style restaurant that needed a taxi ride.

Shenzhen

For historical reasons, the Cultural Revolution was one, dad never wanted to go back to China. These photos are as precious as the bond that built the railway from Guangzhou to Luohu.

Crossing to China, from HK

I was surprised to see that the short hop fm HK to Shenzhen is not high speed rail, which are prevalent in China now. We had lunch in and shopped.

The area is huge, with a bus depot and train station, not to mention the shops.
