Our friend Dana and I had a chance to have an afternoon and evening to ourselves. Now that we have a cell phone the hospital staff feel a bit better about letting us wander freely in the city without them. I’m not sure if this is about our safety or if they think we are defenceless due to our lack of Chinese language skills. Regardless, I’m sure the proverbial S&*$ would hit the fan if anything ever happened to us.
\nWe began the day with a new hair colour for me (back to my regular colour), which was done very professionally at a new salon. We then both got a great foot massage which included some arm and head massage too.
\nAfterwards we wandered around the markets looking for fun souvenirs for Dana to take home to Germany. We were getting a bit peckish so some chicken fit the bill.
\n\"Hot<\/a>
\nHere are a few of the sights along the streets:
\n\"Food\"<\/a>
\n\"Veggies\"<\/a>
\nTired of walking, we took a ride on the wild side, on a motorcycle taxi! It was a short ride and lots of fun.
\nWe arrived at the central ‘night market’, which is where many people gather to eat and do a little shopping after nightfall. The culinary options are great, you can have squid…
\n\"Squid\"<\/a>
\nor meat, fish or veggies on a stick…
\n\"Skewers\"<\/a>
\nbut we decided on this delicious chicken, mmmm mmm!
\n\"Eating<\/a>
\nWe are getting pretty good at our bargaining skills with taxi drivers for our trip back home, it is a comparatively long fare, some do not even really know where they are going, but we manage to whittle them down to 40 yuan ($5) for this 20 minute drive and no more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
