Shao Xing pictures continued.....

These photos are out of order...but still pretty cool...
A street in old Shao Xing where we went shopping...my favorite store was the chopstick store...can you believe it? A store just for chopsticks. So cool. This was our favorite part of the trip.
Doug and I at Karaoke. Yup we did sing and had a great time. Seriously the Chines take Karaoke so seriously they have building that have rooms just for this lounging around and singing. Touch screens for songs...lights that best speakers money can buy and the cheesiest videos you could ever imagine!

Food...Shao Xing is also known for their tofu...and this place was famous for their food and tofu. When fresh tofu is cooking it doesn't smell so hot and well some of the taste goes with that smell...but for 9 of us we spent 219 RMB and that was pretty good. Something new everyday. We also were surrounded by people while we ate...no problem you just ignores the stares and laughter and keep going.


Doug and I took our first ride in a carriage pulled by a bicycle. He had calves the size of my head!

On the street we went shopping you could also go on a boat ride...we didn't because it was raining and if that water got on us I knew we would grow a second arm. But beautiful picture none the less.
