Voyage back to China/Last day in Shenzhen: January 28-29

We spent all day getting back to China, and thennnnn we had an 8 hour bus ride from Nanning to Shenzhen. Fortunately, it was a sleeper bus with (fairly) comfortable beds. UNfortunately, there was no bathroom on the bus. Annoying, and we were awoken in the middle of the night to visit a disgusting rest stop. Figures. Here is D in her fab sleeper bunk (I was on the bottom level and couldn't sit upright):
When we got back to Shenzhen (at about 4 am), we went right back to sleep. Later, after an unsuccessful search for vegetable dumplings, we ended up back at the shop that sells peanuty noodles (cheap and tasty!). Here's the grocery store on the other side of the shop:

That night, we ventured far from D's neighborhood (Fu Tien) to get some GREAT food for our last meal in Shenzhen. It took us about an hour to find this place, but it was well worth it! I never tried baijiao, crazystrong Chinese liquor, though. Here we have gong bao chicken, a spicy cabbage thing, and veggie fried rice:
