Apparently I wasn't intelligent enough to figure out why livejournal wouldn't load here. Im used to the lazy method where you dont usually have to type www. in front of everything. So now that I know once again how to get here I shall continue posting about my trip. So far Ive gone to Gubai and Zhujiajao to visit/shop. Gubai is just a row of restaurants/bars and at the end is the Pearl Market where you can get knockoffs of clothes, dvds, electronics and lots of watches. When you are running around in the Pearl Market it teaches you many important ignoring techniques. Dinner in Gubai one night turned out ridiculous with two employees in a 30 minute yelling match that turned into a physical fight. My dad had to break that one up. Zhujiajao is a water town meaning its split up with a river in the middle of the village. Its a pretty tourist trap where you can take boat rides and buy ridiculous crap/food.Tonight we are all going out to the Bund for a work related get together that hopefully will be interesting. Then comes Friday where we take our last trip all together to Nanjing. We be taking a train out there and we are staying for two nights. It should be filled with lots of historical vists, hiking, and a plethora of pictures.
