Elephants on the Street

One thing we've been amazed at is the number of opportunities for people to work in China. Whether you're in business or want to work with children there's a place you can work. Something to think about, especially now with the Olympics happening. People from all around the world are coming to work all over the country.

A visit to a restaurant last night was interesting, to say the least. We couldn't decide between the cow stomach or the fish stomach so settled for sweet and sour chicken instead. The lemon juice sounded wonderful, it was ... sort of. Cold, wet and salty, very salty so we chose not to drink it.

As we walked later in the evening we were surprised by an elephant walking along the street carrying his master on his back. Since it was night time the elephant had one of those little red flashing lights you see on the back of bicycles attached to his tail flashing away.

Meeting a young girl, with a fine Dutch name,who lives about 15 miles away from our home in Zeeland was also a special time. We had lunch with her and enjoyed talking about home.

Dead battery on the camera makes it a bit difficult to take pictures. Hopefully we'll be posting some pictures next week, or the next, or the next ...
