杭州 hangzhou

where we stayed: hefang hostel; pretty clean and unique

where we visited: west lake and six harmonies pagoda

food: lots of street food, though not unique to hangzhou..saw a lot of xi'an street food, which was interesting because i just went there; tried the famous sweet and sour fish, but didn't like it too much

the city was really clean relative to other cities in china, and the people seemed nice, though edmond and i felt scammed into going to a tea village :/ we walked a lot while we were there gah so tired! but we saw the lamps depicted on the 1 kuai bill!

..edmond left last week and it's finals week :( i've been super lazy the entire semester, and now it's time to whip out a bunch of papers. and then i'm off to cambodia, thailand, and taiwan!
