MICHIGAN
Friends, fishing, food, IKEA and the 4th of July.
Why Michigan?
Of all of the places to visit in the US? Why there?
We met up with friends that we got to know while living in Nanjing who have moved back home to Michigan.
We wanted to see their home and experience their Michigan.
We went shopping and looked around the city and handled guns?!?
They where all in a row and on show. You could just pick one up to get a feel for the riffle.
There where rows and rows of them.
Very interesting.
It was in an outdoor store along with camping goods and clothing.

IKEA.
Yeah my friend had to go to IKEA so I was super excited to go. She had organized for her friend to drive a very large truck with a tray in the pack.
We call them a ute.
In the Nanjing IKEA stores you can find people sleeping in the beds, others bring their lunch and sit at the kitchen tables and eat.
The funniest thing I have seem there was three older ladies sat in the lounge room display on the couches doing their knitting and sipping tea.
