Re: few more pics of China
oh we also went to a pearl factory and OH was given a pearl. Part of the trip was doing the tea ceremony, involved turning the cup a few times, why I don't know and to a newly built school which they were proud of. all done in about 8 days, no time to rest it was go go go , even having just arrived at the hotel given 2 hours rest then we were off site seeing.Bit like the Japanese, 8 countries in 5 days type of thing.
