First day in China

Ok, so really all we've done is walk around, eat, and explore our immediate surroundings. But here are a few photos of the market and a food stall.


First, select the kind of noodles you want, then they add the ingredient. She was nice enough to ask if we wanted hot stuff. I did, but just a little.

The stove is heated with coal briquettes.



Which chicken would you like for dinner?



Pickled garlic. Emma would go crazy for these!

The largest sunflower seeds I've ever seen.

Did I mention that the gov't took our temperatures before we left the plane? They're on the lookout for swine flu. They also gave us all thermometers when we got to our dorm rooms last night. We have to record our temperatures morning and evening for five days. If they think you have it, you get quarantined for 13 days!

That market looks amazing. I hope you get to see what all the vegetables grow.

It must be incredible to walk around somewhere like that and it's not on the tv! I can only imagine the wonderful array of smells and sounds.
