Qujing 9-13 to 9-20





As you can tell by the last post blogspot & I aren't arranging the pics very artistically. Nevertheless, Sep. 13 saw us back in town ready to teach. We see these stairs, plus two more flights inside as we start our day teaching. What you see is the nice part. Inside is rather dirty and could be depressing if one gives in to that kind of mentality. Eating is always spicy, but we are getting better at ordering non spicy dishes. Here's a special Bar-B-Q vendor that serves delicious mutton, but around the city are hundreds of these w/pork, chicken, chicken feet, goat, tofu, mushrooms, almost anything you'd want. Also, you'll often see umbrellas but not always for rain. The sun is intense here so you'll see locals use them on sunny days too. Look carefully at the small trinkets in this clothing shop window. Yes, you're right. If you said that's "Cocky" on the left you're right! 12,000 miles from South Carolina, a small clothier has a GAMECOCK and you can also see a Kentucky wildcat and orange and black Tennessee suspenders!! Surprises are never far away if you keep your eyes open.
