What a difference a day makes I was feeling a lot better and a lot stronger even though I was still feeling little weak. I was so glad as it was the hospitals day of rest and everyone was planning to go to a nearby Mall with lots of shops and I was determined to go, so proceeded to get ready PDQ. I knew that if I lingered too long there'd be another drip in my arm so promptly went missing!

The taxi vehicles arrived which were very high class. High being the operative word and had to be first lifted onto the step and then onto the seat. All carers gave a hand to each other for what was quickly becoming a close knit family because nothing that each one of them wouldn't do to help assist each other. At last I was seeing a little more of Shenzhen. The living is fast and trying to jump lights at every opportunity and horns are almost compulsory to keep the traffic moving with one horn or another being blasted every few seconds.

The Mall had five floors with every inch of space used to sell someone's wares. They weren't so much shops as glass fronted stalls all selling much of the same items, electrical, leather, tea's, shoes, speciality items. It was a great place for haggling - I was in my element! If you turned down their price they'd follow you sill haggling! Oh I nearly forgot there were also lots of massage centres where shoppers could be seen receiving massage as part of their shopping, absolutely fascinating. We returned to the hospital with our shopping only to be greeted with the first of three drips oh what joy, I nearly forgot what it felt like!! The last one finished at 12 midnight after watching yet another DVD.
