Huangzhou, China

Still working on catching this blog up-to-speed. I'm not sure if anyone is reading at this point, but it will at least be our little online record of the trip.

I just realized I am a little out-of-order, but I don't feel like re-doing the image upload.
We spent time in Ningbo with my friend and his wife before moving on to Huangzhou, but Hangzhou will be posted first.

Hangzhou is a moderately sized Chinese city with a population close to Chicago but a size much smaller (they build up not out). It is known for its tea fields and beautiful lakes.

First up, we have a picture of the tea we drank from a balcony overlooking the tea fields. Not iced unfortunately, but everyone else enjoyed it. I'm not a fan of hot liquids.


My friend's wife. They met while he was studying in China. You can see the pretty mountains and tea fields in the background.

Pretty lakes, eh?


So beautiful...oh the landscape is nice too : )


For whatever reason, we tended to feast when with my friend and his wife. Here you can see potatoes with chilies (not spicy, though), bak choi, and small snails.
