lesson 298

Today, it started ridiculously early. So naturally, we were ridiculously late. We're going to check out a new city today in China, Hangzhou. I'm gonna try this breakfast pastry. Bon Appetit! Our first stop was Hu Qing Yu pharmacy, which, founded in 1874, is a pharmacy for traditional Chinese medicine. The prescriptions look like magic potions. Next, we ventured to Qinghefang ancient street, famous for its shopping. And it did not disappoint. Fresh sugar cane juice, straight from the root. This is pork. That's a walnut candy I think. Very into that sesame candy. So, we made it to West Lake. It's a little bit rainier than I had imagined but it's beautiful. West Lake is a big attraction in China because of its beauty and serenity. It's said that many poets and painters have come here throughout history seeking inspiration. Last stop on this trip, we signed up for Tai Chi Lessons at Taijizen, a center founded by Jack Ma and Jet Li. This should be interesting. Okay, so Hangzhou, it's been awesome. I'm crying, laughter and tears of joy. It's been so much fun. I'm gonna jump on a flight tonight. Everybody is flying home. Sad to leave China. And I'll be back soon. Okay, bye!
