Traveling with Mom
Steve's mom landed late on Thursday night. So to welcome her to China, we put her on a long distance bus early the next morning (which we ended up running late for so made her literally speed walk/jog to our bus station) to go to Xiamen. There we were able to show her the magical wonders of pork sandwiches on the pedestrian street, tea party outside of a beautiful temple, the beauty and history of Gulangyu Island, and then freezing her out on a ...

Ausflug in die Huegel von Fujian
Allmaehlich laesst unser Bus, Marke "Goldener Drache", die letzten Vororte von Xiamen hinter sich. Vor uns breiten sich beidseits der Strasse groessere und kleinere Bananenplantagen aus. Die maechtigen Fruchtarme sind mit blauen Plastikglocken gedeckt. Die Felder werden gesaeumt von Palmen, maechtigen Bambusbaeumen und von anderer Vegetation, wovon wir das eine oder andere einmal in einem botanischen Garten gesehen haben, die meisten Pflanzen kennen ...
