Doubt it I don't think so since it was a bunch of separate pagodas with budas in them. One had the biggest buda in Beijing. It was carved out of a white ash tree and they built a pagoda around it. People would burn three sticks of incense at each buda. It was really smokey and smelly!
Mediocre wall just wouldn't do it... Philosophical question for you, was the Great Wall a "Mediocre Wall" before it was "Great"? Was is "Fair" before it was Mediocre? Was it just a stack of stones before it was Fair?
Food You wouldn't believe how good a pizza was after some of the stuff we have been eating! Most of it we aren't even sure what it is. When they set it down, they say what it is in Chinese. One time we had boiled duck feet! You could tell what they were!
Language I have learned how to find a western toilet! The eastern ones are just a hole in the floor with a place for your feet! And don't forget to get toilet paper before you go in, if they have any at all!
Glad to hear that you had a good flight. Sounds like you are having an interesting experience and learning about the Chinese culture.
Believe it or not, we did not golf Wednesday because of rain!! Of course, it cleared up later in the day!
Keep posting and enjoy your stay!
