Tenth day in China

This morning youngest aunt gave mom a call when she's out in the market. She said she is going to meet us at the bus station to go second uncle's place together. However mom hasn't come back at 9am and I haven't had breakfast yet. Mom got back after 10 minutes and we quickly got changed and head out, gonna grab something on our way there.

This morning my feet ain't working too well. My right foot was giving me the hassle, it feels as if I have been walking for a long time, was sore and tight, etc. Walking like a penguin literally! >_<

Youngest aunt rode her bicycle and caught up with us, she went and bought me some breakfast. But then I found shops that sells wantons, so we stayed for awhile for me to have a bowl of hot wantons *heh* and some Chinese dumplings. I miss those flavor, can't get it elsewhere. I remember it since I use to have it when I was a child here :) was nice!

After that, we head over to the bus teminal and took the no. 8 bus. Took about an hour to get to the other terminal (uncle's place), so we were sitting down all the way there which was nice. On the bus it was noisy, aunt was talking to everybody lol. It's like as if she knows everyone on the bus lol. That's Chinese and especially my family *chuckles*

We got to uncle's at around 12pm. Uncle was cooking when we got in the door. All my uncles in my family cook and they cook well! Uncle knows I can't eat too salty nor oily. Today's dish was very nice:) I ate most of the fish head. I don't use to like fish. But everytime my uncle cooks fish, I can eat it, cos it doesn't have that fishy taste :) very nice!

After that, me and Michael was in front of the computer looking at pictures and watching movies heh. Then second aunt arrived at around 2pm. They started chatting and sipping tea. As you can imagine very noisy lol. To be honest, they never talk quiet. If you get to see them, it's like as if it requires a lot of energy to talk and chat among that group lol. They talk loud, laugh loud. Looks very happy. I think that's what matter lol. My eldest uncle wasn't there. Had he been there, oh my god, it'll be even louder *lol*

We left at 4pm as we walked to the bus teminal, I smell a lot of familiar food :) first I saw mantou (no stuffing) - the real northern mantou, we all bought 4 each, mom and aunt, gonna have that for dinner instead of rice :). Westerners spread butter in bread, we put savory stuff in, like Chinese pickles, etc. It's nice! :)

Then after we bought the mantou, I smell stinky tofu lol. $3 for 5 stinky tofu. The shop makes the tofu themselves, so it's cleaner we thought. The shop fried it on demand, so it's freshly made. After mom got the tofu, she turned round and slipped off the steps! Either she didn't see there's an extra step or that the step was slippery. The shopkeeper ran out and apologized, saying there are a lot of road works around their area lately. I asked mom if she's ok, she kept saying 'I am alright, it's ok ok, it's fine really', but I saw her pants (bum area) was dirty and muddy, guess that's where she landed on.... >_<

Got home at around 6pm, mom's preparing dinner now... oh I found another melon that I like in the market today, it's called GuangJin Gua - GuangJin=gold, so it's yellow in colour :) Can only find it in HangZhou :) Will have it after dinner!

More updates later!
