There we are off to dinner. My pictures of dinner were too blurry to be useful. However, nothing too significant came from dinner. Here is a quick overview:

a) Chicken chunks and cabbage - same as before.

b) Fish - dull and bad tasting, as before.

c) Chicken and green peppers - same as before

d) gluten - disgusting as usual

e) Beansprouts and green peppers - a good vegatable side dish

f) Fish soup - had green leak as well, still tastes scaly which is no surprise. Why do they invent such bad tasting food?

g) Su choi - just by itself is like the beansprouts, a side dish.

h) egg pudding - like Jello but it is made of egg. Again, I found it too disgusting to eat by itself but it goes well when blended in with the rice.

After dinner it was off into the bus to a hotel near our next destination. It is a real beat neck secluded place near West Lake in Hangzhou City. Now, when I mean secluded, it is worse than Surrey, worse that Langley, even worse than Narita Airport. This is a place that has nothing around it, not even farmland, no convience stores, and I couldn't see the any other houses or residences within visible sight. What I could see was a big lake and lots of rolling hills.

I note in this room, there is a small side room by the window. Here I used the table to do typing of this log while I had the window open. All you hear all night is crickets or frogs and I kept hearing a rooster crowing for hours even when there was no sign of daybreak. There was the sound of some kind of motor which I am going to guess is a outboard motor for a boat. If you are looking for a real natural and surreal place to relax, this would be it.
