I'm definitely the old man of the group.  This is part of the
International Interns from CRCC.  I think the next oldest is 24.

A wonderful flute.  He played it quite well.  This market gets
very few foreigners.

And this market is not on the Tourist maps, and according
to all the people I spoke with "never" gets foreigners.
However, I was there, so they at least get some... :)

Breakfast of Dou Jang, Bau dz, and You Tiau.
Breakfast of Soy Bean Milk, Steamed Dumpling and Fried Bread
I really like it all!

Dinner of a kind of sweet and sour pork and great vegetables.

thousands of modern skyscrapers.
