This time I visited the northeastern three provinces in China an area with great scenery and plenty of culture and history. The 3 provinces cover a vast territory. Jilin province is located in the central part of Northeast China adjoining Heilongjiang Province in the north Lianing Province in the south and the Inner Mongolia http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/China/Dongbei/Shenyang/blog-169029.html I got off the bus onto a fairly small and crowded hardware street. I waited until Monica recieved me and we got in a taxi to go to her apartment home. Her apartment building is in the center of the city but is surprisingly quiet. The tall 17story buildings block off the city and circle a landscaped water garden. We relaxed in her home before dinner at her uncle's house. I felt very welcome there http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/China/Dongbei/Shenyang/blog-94230.html Yesterday after arriving we checked into the Post Hotel which literally looks onto the train station and was a twi minute walk. We got a pretty normal dorm room with a public bathroom and breakfast for 98 RMB a night about 12. Then we started adventuring around the city. We took a bus that one of our newfound friends from the train told us about to a random point and decided to get off http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/China/Dongbei/Shenyang/blog-22663.html
