Phoenix City Fengming

The next morning I woke up at 6:30am. After washing up, I went to the cafeteria on the 14th floor for breakfast. The food at the buffet is extremely rich and has an entrance and exit. There is always a smiling lady at the entrance, saying good morning to guests and reminding each guest to clean their hands with disinfectant. The guests lined up in an orderly manner, holding large plates to choose the food they liked. I don’t like meat, so I only choose fish, shrimp and fruits, and I can’t forget to choose one of my favorite desserts. I took my plate and found a seat by the window. I ate slowly while admiring the scenery outside the window. I put down my knife and fork from time to time to capture the wonders of the sea. Because today is a scenic cruising, Godlden Princess sailed along the Canadian coast, sailing along the inner bay. Cruising at sea for a whole day without docking, so you can take part in various activities organized by the cruise ship during your spare time. I heard that there was a table tennis competition on the deck of the 15th floor. After breakfast, we, the husband and wife, boarded the deck of the 15th floor hand in hand. We were really overjoyed. There were two tables of table tennis, but everyone was playing. We watched for a while and the table tennis match started. Half were Chinese and half were foreigners. There was also a Chinese woman, and she played well. In the end, a Chinese man won the championship, and the person in charge also gave a medal to the winner. The audience gave warm applause to express their congratulations. After watching the game, the two table tennis tables were immediately filled with people waiting to play. Discuss with your husband to go somewhere else first and come back when there are less people. When it was almost time for lunch, we went upstairs to check. Sure enough, there were a lot less people. After we waited for a while, someone kindly let us play. When I hold the racket in my hand, I see that the rubber on both sides of the racket has fallen off a lot, and it has no elasticity at all. Can this racket still play ball? The racquets you throw away at home are much better than this, but on this cruise thousands of miles away from home, you can’t be too demanding, just make do with it! At the beginning, I really couldn't grasp the spoon. Either the ball missed the net or it flew away. It took a while to adapt and gradually grasp the rules. Just like at home, I play offensive ball and my husband plays defensive ball. In this way, I can hit the ball back and forth several times to avoid wasting time picking the ball. Over the past few days, I made several friends while playing table tennis. There was a 14-year-old American boy who praised me for playing well and was willing to play against me. I readily agreed. He also humbly asked me for advice on how to hold the racket. I told him my experience. I hope I didn't make a mistake by saying something wrong and causing the boy to suffer. There is also the Chinese gentleman and his wife who won the table tennis championship. He (she) played very well. They were traveling together as a family to celebrate their children's graduation from medical school. The world is really small. During the conversation, we learned that we are fellow villagers from Shandong, which deepened the feelings of fellow villagers. The couple is also an outstanding Chinese student who came to the United States to pursue a career in the world. Currently, they have a successful career and their children are successful. They are a successful and happy family. I sincerely wish him or her family a happier and happier life and a more brilliant career. I soon met two other friends on the boat who were going on a cruise. At the Phoenix Chinese Christian Church, the children are in the same fellowship, and we seven elders are brothers and sisters who are all familiar with the Evergreen Fellowship. Meeting on the boat was particularly cordial, and I have indescribable feelings. I am grateful to God for giving us such wonderful children, taking care of our children, and taking us old people to travel together and enjoy family happiness together! We were resting in the room in the afternoon when our grandson and his sister knocked on the door and told us: We need to dress up in formal attire for dinner tonight and they will pick us up at 5:25pm. We hurriedly put on my husband's suit, tie and leather shoes, as well as my skirt and high heels, which we had prepared earlier. I had not worn a skirt for many years due to knee arthritis, and I was really not used to wearing it now. My husband rarely goes out in suits and ties since he came to the United States, but as the saying goes: a man wears clothes, a horse wears a saddle. Today’s change of clothes does make him look more energetic and younger. When he looked at us in the mirror, he smiled at each other in unison. We walked out of the room, walked hand in hand through the guest room corridor with our grandson and granddaughter who came to pick us up, and headed towards the elevator. When the children saw it, they all said we were so young and beautiful, which made me feel embarrassed. The whole family was all dressed up very nicely. The son is also wearing a suit and ties today, and the grandson is wearing his signature black suit and blue and white tie. Against the backdrop of his tall and strong figure, he looks even more handsome, cute and amiable. The granddaughter and her mother wore mother-daughter costumes, elegant, strong, generous and beautiful. The family happily walked to the restaurant. When you enter the restaurant, you will find that it is very different from last night. There is a strong festive atmosphere in the restaurant. The guests are all dressed up and smart, and the waiters also put on formal attire with ties and shuttle among the many tables. Those in charge of ordering, serving, pouring drinks and delivering desserts are all very busy! Our meals were ordered by Sun Erbang, and we were full of food. After dinner, my son suggested that the whole family take a family photo. We found a beautiful scenery as the background and asked a friend to take photos of our family. I also took a lot of photos of the children together to keep as a souvenir. The child told us that tonight the Coliseum is still a talk show for foreigners. Accepting last night's experience, we stopped joining in the fun if we didn't understand, and just took a look around freely on the cruise ship. I returned to the room at around eight o'clock. My husband was playing chess on the computer and I was busy writing my travel diary. It was rare to have such leisurely leisure time. We both enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed it to the fullest.
