From there, we went to a very sad place. It's the site of a mass burial for 100,000 Chinese that were brutally slaughtered and mistreated by the Japanese at the beginning of WW2. All together there were 300,000 victims. And this museum was 100 x bigger than the museum of Tolerance in LA and just as sad, if not sadder - cause there were lots if photos depicting what happened. And lots of first hand accounts from survivors.
After our touring, Sally showed us the grocery store, fruit store & food street.
Melissa and I went to get a foot massage. It was an hour long and included a neck and shoulder massage! Super cool! We were in a little room and they served us watermelon and tea.
Then we went to dinner at a restaurant Sally suggested. It was good. The menu had pictures and descriptions in English, so we picked out some things we liked and it was delicious!! They also had a musical performance.
Then we walked around the lake for an hour. The lake is beautiful!!! I'll take some pics later ... Went to bed so exhausted!!
I feel like I'm reading this...backward?! Who is Sally and what happened to Melissa? ;)
ReplyDeleteNothing happened to Melissa, what do you mean? Sally is the Program Director. She's the one who interviewed me and selected the teachers to come.

Going back to all my comments this morning ... maybe these got posted out of order, I'm not sure.
