Hi Everyone,
I have to apologize for the sporadic posts and pictures lately. Between burning my face and being hospitalized in a foreign country, it's definitely been a week to remember. I haven't had many opportunities to take pictures in the last several days, so today I'm just posting some photos of our neighborhood that I've collected during our time here. It's a residential area that is active at all times, day and night. There are small shops and eateries, and everyone is friendly. It seems like many of the locals have become accustomed to the sight of Lisa, Prajna and me walking down the street, and many people shout out "Hello!" and wave when we walk by.
If you're wondering, the jars in the second picture contain different herbal medicinal wines. Prajna tried one yesterday, and apparently it tastes mostly like grain alcohol and very little like anything related to herbs, medicine, or wine. But hey, they promote longevity. To your health!

Hi Alexa.
What street are you on. Is it close to the Mao Square? the Water fountain show at nights at the center is wonderful you should try to attend one evening.
BTW, You should also try to make a visit to Zhong Tong Ren Lue, and make a visit with Sven at the Loft hostel. Its a lovely restaurant where you can get some American food that tastes delicious.
Best wishes, Aram
