Getting Away From It All - A Shang Sim La Vacation

Evidently Landon Bagley had better things to do than going to school. The Watcher decided to change HIS mind.

First a lightning strike to let him know that the Watcher was annoyed; then a meteor storm that pretty much took out the parking lot of the pool. Needless to say, the little vermin managed to scamper away pretty much unscathed. I'll get the sim next time.

...and if Lorraine Cantina doesn't get out of the road, she's going to get hit by a car or maybe even something far worse.

Haruo drove home to get the mail and see what else needed paying, including the bills? Then it was finally time to go and enjoy a vacation, Shang Sim La beckoned.

Seeing the Terracotta Warriors was a fun day out.

Haruo, River and Yasunobu went out for a close-family outing at Han's Garden

Haruo's Dad saw the two of them gazing at each other...and made an excuse to head over to the Academy, letting River and Haruo have some time alone together, of which they made very good use out of it.

The next day was spent at the Academy where they stayed late...practicing their Sim Fu.

Haruo and River spent the night together in the hostel where they took advantage of the intimate atmosphere of the sole queen-size bed on the top-floor of the hostel.

In the morning, they went down to the town merchant center to get some breakfast before they had to fly back. Haruo also asked one of the Shang Sim La residents to teach him some songs.

All in all, it was a great vacation, but it was more than satisfying to return home. Susan, Yasunobu, Haruo, River, Masatoshi and Caitlin were more than happy to get home and recuperate from the long flight from Beijing back to Vancouver International Airport, then a long drive to Riverview (let's just say that it's a fictional town on the Fraser River).
