McDonalds in China are unlike the ones you have in Malaysia. Why? The main and principal reason is that the McDonalds in China serves PORK BURGERS! Yes, I kid you not. I had a taste of the burger for my breakfast and have to concur that they do taste quite nice. But lest you think I shall make it a daily ritual to eat a pork burger for breakfast, then I should disappoint you. The pork burger is nice but not nice enough to make me want to devour one everyday. Their uniqueness derives from the very fact that we are unable to savour such a burger in Malaysia. However, other than that there is nothing to shout about. I do urge any of you who visit China to sample a pork burger though because certainly it is worth that one try. Or maybe two tries, three tries etc. depending on your tastebuds.Can you spot the pork burger in the menu? I forgot to bring out my camera this morning and for now, you shall have to make do with a photo of the menu. I promise I shall take a photo if and when I have a pork burger next. Also, the pork burger set consisted of a pork burger, a cup of coffee and a biscuit snack. All for the price of RMB10.00 = RM5.00. Decent enough.

I accompanied Doreen after breakfast to a hospital since she needed to collect her verified medical report. The bus journey (to and fro) took us three hours but it was nice to just chat to Doreen while taking in the outside sights and scenery. One thing I have observed about the Chinese public is that they are extremely polite and respectful of their elders. Whenever an elderly person enters the bus and cannot find an empty seat, a younger person will almost certainly stand up and offer their seat to them. I have been particularly impressed by this cordial behaviour. I have yet to witness the impudent behaviour that is so rather common with the younger generation in Malaysia. I have not really used public transportation much in Malaysia. However, I really get a sense that the younger generation would probably not give a care in the world about the elderly person standing uneasily at a crowded corner. Anyone begs to differ?
