Memories of China

I thought I would write more about China, since I don't want to forget and all.
So here goes...

1. It smells in China, horrible smells, from strange cooking smells to toilets and urine, I had to cover my mouth as I walked down the street often. It was a strange experience to have my nose be accosted so often walking down a narrow alley.

2. The first moments in China, we were heading to our hotel and got off the bus where people told us was the right place to get off, and we were so lost. We had a map with a dot on it where it said where are hotel was. I said we needed to got the opposite way in which we were walking, but we didn't, eventually we just got a cab to take us there, but it would not go down the alley where our hotel was because it was so narrow, so we got out and walked again, still walking and walking, eventually asking a nice girl if she could take us there, and she did, we turned around and walked back the way we came, down another alley and finally found it, all the while pulling our luggage behind us. Well not me, Joe and my Dad pulled our luggage. What sweet fellas.

3. The open market was amazing, it reminded me of my days in Italy at the open market with food on the ground and non refrigerated meat laying out. But in China there was even more strange meats, fish, bugs and such.



I have much more to show you and discuss, So be prepared for some more interesting tidbits about my Trip to China coming to soon to a blog near you.
