When I last updated, Karen and I were standing at the side of the road with a bunch of Chinese people, waiting for the replacement bus after the first one broke down on the way to Fuzhou.
Of course, the replacement finally did come, even though it was just short of the time that our fellow-travelers had told me they were considering the company's deadline. If they had taken any longer, we were going to call the police to bring us home, because we were literally in the middle of nowhere.
So, we got to our friends' house, and we spent a lovely, relaxing week with them. We saw some sights, but didn't stress ourselves out with trying to see everything.

Also, another short video clip: They have these great Firework Lights all over in China, and I've never seen them at home. This is at the town square, Fuzhou.
P.S. I now hate Photobucket, and am currently enjoying Picasa. I kind of wish it wouldn't shrink the photos so much when I post them here, but I guess it's easier for readers who don't have fast connections. |
