Today my cousin, his girlfriend, and I went around Hangzhou and did a lot of fun things. First we went to a buffet lunch at a Japanese Restaurant, although the food was mostly Chinese-style. Most of it was pretty good, but I have to say the sushi wasn't all that impressive. It wasn't your typical buffet either; it was an option you chose before you ordered so you could order as much food as you wanted from the menu. Afterward we went to climb Wu Mountain. It's not a very tall mountain, but the scenery was quite nice.
You're supposed to be able to see all the 12 symbols of the Chinese Zodiac in these rocks.. but no one could see it
Then atop the mountain we took some nice pictures:
After climbing down, which we got a little bit lost, because we got down at a different place than when we went up the mountain, we went to a McDonald's to drink some ice cold coke and rest for a bit. (It's like in the US.. but it's Chinese!)
Thinking of what to do, they decided to go to a place that you can play board games. It was pretty fun, and one of the games was this plastic tree where you rolled a die and had to take out the color stick that you rolled There were monkeys on the top, and you had to try to take a stick out without any monkeys falling. If any monkeys fell they were considered yours, and the person with the fewest number of monkeys at the end won (And I won!). It's like monkey Jenga..
Still being full from a huge lunch we decided to just eat some 羊肉串 (lamb meat on a stick) for dinner. They're delicious.
It's been a really fun weekend, but it's time for work again tomorrow. Rocky and Grace should be coming this weekend so there'll definitely be more posts coming up soon! It's going to be a lot of fun.
