Today, we ventured away from Shanghai to a place called Hangzhou, which is said to be a paradise on earth. The tour guide told us about all folklore about the women who live here, who are pampered by their men and live a pretty good life. All women want to come to this city for a posh lifestyle. The tour guide was wearing a wedding ring, but I didn't ask her any questions about her own experience.
Hangzhou was much prettier than Shanghai. We took a boat ride across a large man made lake and walked around on the other side which had a nice little park. It was pretty rainy and cold today, but the good experience made up for it. After lunch, we went to the top of a tall pagoda overlooking the city, but only had about 20 minutes to roam around before heading back. There was an alumni dinner which was our first taste of American food in a really long time. It was wonderful and sorely missed, since we get the same sort of food on almost every meal.
