China Pics 5

MY EPIC JOURNEY IN CHINA HAS FOUND ME AT CONFUCIUS' HOMETOWN... You've never heard of Confucius??? o_o

Confucius was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher, whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese and Vietnamese thought and life. He's really famous in China... about as famous as Christopher Columbus here.

Anyways, I went to the city where he was born, and believe me, IT WAS *SO* HOT THE DAY WE GOT THERE!! I was sweating GALLONS.... ugh!

To make it worse, we had to walk to our hotel with all our luggage and stuff. I saw an interesting clothing store.


It was also windy that day, and we WITNESSED this guide sign fall over!! Hahaahahhaha


When we got to the hotel, I noticed this AWESOME card holder!!


The bathroom. Has. A. Phone. A PHONE RIGHT NEXT TO THE TOILET!! What's the point of that??


We ate lunch (compliments to the hotel... the meal was free :) and this hotel is so fancy that they fold napkins like this for LUNCH.


While we were eating, I looked out the window and almost BARFED... BECAUSE I SAW THIS *HUMONGOUS* FLY!!


This hotel was by far very stylish :) I LOVE the carpet!


The napkin form was even COOLER at dinner!! (We decided that we would relax the first day, then go sightseeing after a good night's sleep.)


The chopsticks were awesome.


EVEN THE HAT STAND WAS COOL!!


This hotel's dinner service goes like this: there's one waiter for our room. She never leaves (you know, unless we tell her to :P). Other waiters deliver the food through this little window :)


The glass revolver was awesome too!!


Ugh I have no idea what these little beans are... they don't taste too good...


This dish isn't special... I just felt like taking a picture of each dish that we ordered (because they're so fancy! hahaha)


Bitter vegetables.


Delicious tofu.


The brown little cubes are meat. They're supposed to be eaten wrapped in those "bread scallops"...


The entire dinner table.


That window is cool too!!
