April Fool's Day. I hope you were all very good today. Our China festivities consisted of a museum trip, a Rickshaw ride through the old city, and a traditional lunch with a local family.
First, the Museum was fascinating. Not many people can go to the museum and enjoy it. I like that kind of thing, and found lots of history and culture in the museum. I always like to try to get to one if I'm in a city with a deep cultural history. In any case, the place was also fairly modern with some great architecture!
We were able to get into rickshaws and flew through the old city. Narrow streets did not permit cars and buses to get in. There seemed to be two parts, the old city with old streets and traditional living, and the second part which seemed more modern. I suppose I could tell by the variety of bars that are present. And the huge waterway.
Finally a traditional lunch with a local family. This was an amazing meal and really, it was better than every restaurant we went to. Isn't that always the case?
