Well yesterday was a good day! I did not freeze to death! When I was watching the weather prior to coming over I saw that it was on average 32F everyday. I thought to myself, that is not too bad. Mengchen warned me to bring warm clothes, which for the most part I did. HOWEVER! I did not take into account the wind chill factor! The temperature in a no wind condition is not too bad, however when the wind starts blowing look out! This makes going out a little more difficult since we walk and take public transportation.
The hotel that I am at is close to where Mengchen lived and where her sister lives as well. It was fun to wonder around her stomping grounds and see the market she used to visit and just get a feeling for her day to day life! She then pointed out the hotel that she originally was going to book, but they do not accept foreigners at that hotel! I had read on some websites that there are areas that foreigners should not go to, but that would ruin my adventure spirit! Besides I have an awesome guide who would not let me get into trouble!
The supporting photos will come.. I just have to get them off Mengchen's camera!
Mengchen lived on the 7th floor of the yellow building!
