Today we went to hangzhou.

We left at 8:30am, on a big BMW with a really friendly and good looking driver, haha.  He was waiting for us at 8am.

We went to have breakfast at a restaurant which is famous for its beijing dishes.  We had soya milk, buns and lots of different small cold dishes.  I do not find the foods that good, but I like the soya milk.  It is fresh. My children like the bun, they have many kinds of buns.

We went to west lake (si hu) first, we took the boat ride and went on the famous bridge.  Let my children release their energy, which is good.  It was a cold and windy.  But children not afraid of cold, haha.  My dad was the first one found a tea house, he “ran” in immediately and sat down to rest.  We all went in to rest and not in 2 minutes, Nee wants to go out to run again.  Poor him, he has to take them all out.  That will let him know it is not easy to take care of 3 children.

We went to two other temples  — nothing too spectacular.   Derek lost his glove, we can’t find it.   He wanted to go back to find them.  My mom nag me a bit for not put their gloves in my bag, but my dad immediately said he will buy him another one.  Derek is not too happy, but that is the price to pay if he does not take care of his own stuffs.  It is not that cold.

Lunch we went to a restaurant close to the lake.  This restaurant is special, we order the dishes downstairs.  They have many variety and sample downstairs for us to order.  I have no idea how to order, but as always, he and my dad were busy “investigating” the sample.  My mom and I just happy that we do not have to worry about it.

After lunch, we all voted to go shopping.  We went to a mall close by, not very big, but still lots of people.  The driver said don’t buy any silk or tea there, he knows another place that sells good stuffs.  Later we went to a tea house, there is someone who made tea for us to enjoy.  They were trying to sell us tea leaves, he asks them to go out, not too politely.  I gave him a nasty look, he blinks.  I bought two small pillows filled with tea leaves, they smell very good.

By that time, it is already dark, and we’re leaving hang zhou.  We did not get home till 9pm.  Of course on the way back, he ta pao more foods home.  I think the colder the weather, the more we eat.  I find myself eat lots too, haha.

I voted not to go to najing tomorrow.  My husband found a children place to go tomorrow, not too far.   I sometimes pity his secretary, he called her at 9pm on saturday night to ask her where is a good place to bring children to go.  It is not even a work related question.  People here works really hard to earn money.
