China - Our Visit

We had a wonderful trip to China (despite a few mishaps). We really enjoyed:

1. Being away from work
2. Cold weather (well, for the first 2 days, then we wanted our heat back!)
3. Being able to truly relax
4. Seeing our friends and seeing part of their life
5. The food
6. Not having to work

Here are some various pictures from around China. We didn't do a whole lot of traveling, but did enough to get a good view of China (at least, we think so).

A re-created old style street------------------------------An outdoor orchestra concert

The streets during the day----------------------The streets at night---------------------A market with cheap stuff

-------A dude on his motorbike--------------------------A good view of what the houses look like

We visited the Yuelu Academy - a school that's 1000 years old. It is the oldest school in China and has a lot of nicely preserved buildings.
