Im glad i made the most of the hotel because china is a shock.
I was picked up by my friends wife who lives in China and made our way to their district....this is when i realised the taxi driver the day before completely mugged me off!
Went shopping, chickens in china for food are sold alive and there are food places everywhere. China is obsessed with advertising any spare space is taken over by an advert they use pavements and benches and trees.
Things that are unacceptable in England are acceptable in China there are actually signs asking people not to poo or wee in the street and everyone spits and throws rubbish.
Very different place. I had sugar cane which is sweet but weird throwing the bits you chew on the floor and tried home cooked Chinese cooking cooked in a traditional oven it tasted amazing although when duck is cooked the bones are cut up with it. It was marinated and i even used chop sticks novelty at first.
Today Im being taken out to see the sights although so far the morning hasn't been good, due to jet lag and change in food i threw up in the middle of the train...it wasn't pretty!
Loving china so far just hard to get used to. Inventory minus 1- my body lotion but i took the small one from the hotel so unsure if this counts.
Its hard to get wifi so will update as often as I can.

Nicola Wow! Sounds crazy. I hope you've got lots of pictures of all the advertising - maybe less of you bein sick though. I hope you're feeling ok now. Probably just the massive shock to your system. Is the area you'rr staying in traditional china or modern like Beijing? Jealous im not with you! Why did you ditch the body lotion? Miss you xxx
Mum Stanley Sugar cane looks delicious. You are going for the grunge look then. I'm glad you're enjoying the food. Sorry about your mishap on the train. Xx
Maureen Hi Alice! So glad you arrived safely :) I'm loving your blog! Hope you are feeling better than you did on the train a few more days and you'll be much more settled with both food and jetlag I'm sure. Have an amazing time.. looking forward to reading your next entry! Xxx
