China Trip Part 3

No trip to China is complete without a big bowl of steaming hot noodles.
Unfortunately, I missed out on this.

Luckily Daddy has a strong back, so he didn't mind that I was hanging from him during his entire meal. Mommy had to rig-up one of my shirts around my neck to keep my head from doing some major bobbing.
Here's me and Mommy on the train to Quzhou, which is Nana's hometown. We took a side trip there for a few days to meet Nana's entire family! The train ride used to be about 4 hours, but now with a new high-speed train, it was less than 2! You can see the train is pretty nice and very clean.



The first item of business once we arrived in Suzhou was to meet my other Tai-Tai (Nana's Mom) for the very first time.


Tai-Tai's house is where I learned to drink tea... and now I love it!!



Here I am just checking things out in Tai-Tai's door.



Washing up with Daddy and Ye-Ye outside my Tai-Tai's apartment.



The view from the sink seen above.
Taxi alternative. Kinda fun. Kinda scary.







The restaurant version of a high chair... a box of beer under a red napkin. Lasted maybe 30 seconds or long enough for this photo.




Anyone notice a movie star in this picture? My great-uncle. He's the spitting image of Kyle MacLachlan with a Chinese twist.




One of the newest additions to the city of Quzhou is a giant underground Walmart. Outside the Walmart there was a man selling rides on a bunch of remote controlled cars...




Mommy and Daddy let me try!!



Turned out I was good for business, so the man let me have a few more rides on the house. When it was finally time to go, I cried hard.



On a walk outside one of the city gates.



Final goodbyes at the train station with my great-auntie and great-uncles.

Me and Mommy on the train ride back to Hangzhou. Until next time Quzhou!!


Stay tuned for the final installment...
