Guess we thought we would feel like strangers in a strange land here in China and, while we certainly are different both physically and culturally, it does not feel strange. Liz has completed just about three weeks of Chinese and has developed some limited communication skills. This has been more than helpful in improving our comfort level. Some videos of her conversations will follow in this posting.
It is now about 6AM on Monday July 20 and the sun has been up for a few hours. Since the entire country of China is on one timezone (Beijing Time), summer days in Shanghai start and end early. It's dark at about 6:30 PM in this part of China. Anyway, let's continue our trip to Hang Zhou. I think we left you after our first meal there.
Tired from the trip, our appetites sated, we returned to our hotel. We stayed at the Ramada Hua Hui, which is located about 2 city blocks from the lake and is a first class western style hotel. Cost was typical of what the average motel would be in the USA. Next AM, we met for breakfast (included with room) and were blown away with the buffet. Food stations including an unimaginable selection of foods, American, European and Chinese breakfast dishes. We then headed out to our adventures. The whether was exceedingly hot; but we persevered an visited many different sites. The following videos and slides will cover our adventure.
