Hello from Hangzhou, China
I’ve been in China for 10 days now, each one a new experience. I would like to document them all, minute by minute, but then I would need another 10 days dedicated entirely to remembering and writing, and even then I would still miss out on too much. I’ve been taking photos, many many photos. Almost everyday I’ve had to upload two to three hundred + photos and recharge my totally drained camera battery. But its the little things, moments too quick for the camera, and the personal thoughts and emotions that I really want to get down.
I don’t have enough resources, nor time, while I’m still in China to upload the photos, but will try to put together something when I’m back home in a week’s time.
The days have been passing with too much to experience and too much too absorb. I feel exhausted at the end of each day and have no energy left to try to recall all the events, even less to try to put them down in chronological order. So I will try to put some down here as I think of them, as hap hazard as they may be. And as I’ve found when I email the Boy, I tend to go off on tangents and ramble on too much.
Alas, I have to go have breakfast. It’s 8:30 am and shops open at 9:30 (and close around 9 - 10pm EVERYDAY!), so I must hurry out there, as today is my last day in Hangzhou and I’ve only 3hrs of shopping left here!
Tangent: I arrived in Shanghai on the night of the 20th, and spent 2 days there, then went to Ningbo for 4 days and came to Hangzhou on Tuesday. I like the Gardens and tourist spots in Hangzhou, and also the shopping! There seem to be more fashion stores here and more pretty clothes - something that makes a girl very happy. Unfortunately I havent really done much shopping as we’ve been spending our days sight-seeing. Going back to Ningbo this afternoon, hence the last minute shopping rush.
Hehe, stay tuned for the next installment, I will start writing something of substance then!
