Children, Peacocks and Tea

Children,

Peacocks,

and tea.

Today we were busy enjoying the sights and sounds of Hangzhou. The weather was great as we had to shed our coats, drink lots of water and think about the risk of sunburn. Yes, it was a very nice day! We went for a boat cruise around West Lake, visited the Six Harmony Pagoda and went to a tea village. In the evening we did a little shopping at a "Toys R Us" store and ate at Pizza Hut. I guess we needed a little break from everything Chinese.
In the morning we head to Yiwu to visit S.S.'s orphanage, the part of town where she was found and stop for a brief shopping spree. Our time in Yiwu will be short as afterwards we need to go to Hefei which will be another 6 hour drive. Not a lot of walking will happen but I'm sure it will be just as tiring.
We've been asked a few questions along this journey so I'll do my best to answer them here:
1) What were those "Mickey Mouse" things that I showed on Day 1? They are MP3 players! They are small enough to hold in your hand and are 2GB.
2) What time is it really? We are 12 hours ahead of Canada. So as you read our blog at school we will already be sleeping, hopefully :) I guess we can honestly say, "Been there, done that."
3) Did we really eat jelly fish? Yes, it feels like a hard jello and takes on the flavor of the sauce you dip it in.
We may be posting very late tomorrow or not until the next day as I suspect our day of driving will end well into the evening. Ta Ta for now.
