Jiangmen City and Zhuhai

After Hong Kong, we took the ferry to Jiangmen City to see our friend Jason and his wife Shelly. They took us on a hike up through a waterway to a peak overlooking town. Despite all our mileage and fancy Vibram hiking sandals, they both smoked us to the top in their flip-flops..

Guangdong province is where we ate some of the rawest meals of our trip. Lots of dishes with legs and tentacles and heads. Jason and Shelly told us that Jiangmen City is a famous place to eat dog, and offered us all of the 'special' crawfish from the bowl that were filled with eggs. Odie, we are staying true to our promise not to eat the dog.

On Monday we caught a ride to the BD factory in Zhuhai with Jason to check out the factory/global DC and see some good friends. Sadly we took no pictures, but the place is looking tight and has come a long way in a few short years. We had one more meal with Geoff and Joe Smith (in town from SLC) and company, at a place that Geoff assured us was a bit on the wilder side, then a night at the BD Zhuhai apartment, and we were headed inland.
