As it turned out, we had half days for the sports day, so I immediately changed my train to get to Nanjing in the afternoon, not the evening. An hour and a half train journey later, and I was on holiday. Granted, only a weekend, but I'll take what I can get.
I met up with Sandy and Chris eventually, after a missed train and a lot of traffic, in a fantastic Japanese BBQ place before the show. During this time, realised it had been 5 years since the last time we were in the same place. A scary revelation.
A fantastic meal and a few beers, and we were off to the show! Sandy somehow called someone to turn up on their bike and drive his car to the next place. Magic!
Nerves were a little tight as we thought we would miss the show, but a speedy car exit, and we arrived just in time.
A fantastic night was had by all!!!
