Shijiazhuang and my mom – days 2 and 3

Filed under: China, Chinese, Shijiazhuang, 申琦 — andrewstrauss @ 8:22 pm

My mom seemed to really enjoy 石家庄 (shíjiāzhuāng) which made me happy.  During her time here, she had a chance to meet most of my close friends, eat at some of my favorite restaurants, see 2 bath houses, do some shopping, meet my girlfriend 申琦 (shēn qí)’s mother, learn how to play 麻将(má jiāng), take 2 Chinese lessons at my school, see my apartment, ride an electric bicycle around town, learn to make dumplings, taste 申琦 (shēn qí)’s cooking, buy fake DVDs for $1 a piece, and visit a tea shop.  All in all, it was not only a lot of fun to show her around, but really nice to have someone from back home here for a change.

Next stop, 上海(shànghǎi)…..HERE WE COME!!!!

    Andrew Glad all went well! Terry returned this morning to Hawaii. She had a great
    time in China and brought back many treasures. She is tired but looks great. Must be
    the Chinese Cuisine.

    Aloha Gary
