China 2011

---

Happy Tuesday Night! The excitement of today was we found Red Bull at the convenience store next to work - but they like it hot not cold here in China- very interesting- I didn't try it. I am heading out to lunch with the girls in my class tomorrow- wish me luck- I am going to be adventurous again. Tonight, I grabbed my camera to take some pictures of the watershow which I have seen a few times. It is across the street from hotel on the West Lake. It is a nice 30 minute show. Tomorrow night, I am going out to dinner with co- workers, Thursday night we are taking the new hires out for a nice dinner and then Friday is my last " party" night in Hangzhou so we will go out in style. Stay tuned for those fun pictures. For now, enjoy the night time photos of the water show.

Have a good Tuesday,

Sue

this is a popular treat that I see them all eat, I have no idea what it is- it is some type of meat that is colored red- I will be honest it scares me....

Hi, just accidently came in to your blog... The trip in hz looks so fun. Just one thing, the "red thing" is actually made of little red fruits. It's called Tanghulu in Chinese. Here is the explaination from wikipedia - "Tanghulu typically has a hardened sugar coating that comes from dipping the skewer in sugar syrup, but versions can also be found with a second chocolate coating, or sesame sprinkles. Traditionally, the fruit used has been Chinese hawthorn (shān zhā, 山楂, in Chinese), but in recent times vendors have also used cherry tomatoes,mandarin oranges, strawberries, blueberries, pineapples, kiwifruit, bananas, or grapes, creating tanghulu that resemble fruit kebabs." Nothing to scale LOL~ and it's yummy~
