First stop of the day: Green tea plantation (aka Dragon Well). This was the 2nd best green tea place in China. We met a man who spoke the best english thus far of our trip...he called himself......"DR. TEA". Even after all his experiments, NO ONE bought any green tea and we all pretended we needed to go to the washroom to get away from the awkward silence.
Lunch was decent, and we met 2 really cute puppies...poodles.
After lunch, we walked around the West Lake...really well-known place in China. It was in this city, that we sang the song from One Republic: Stop and Stare. We apparently stopped people in their tracks, even bus drivers who are reversing into their parking spots HAHA. Before boarding the cruise, we saw a man with the LONGEST PINKY NAIL EVERRRRRR. GROSS. We spent 30 minutes cruising the West Lake which was rather green and smelly. YUM. Afterwards, the sun began to set, and we must admit, it was really really pretty.
After spending a good couple hours at West Lake, we went to Yue Fei's temple and it was during this time, Janice decides to use her psychology background and diagnose a fellow tour mate....we decided she was highly neurotic, anxious and won't STFU.
We went for dinner and our restaurant was beside a strip club. Wonderful. While passing by, they were rolling out the red carpet...no, not for us. Because we didn't join the optional activity, we got left behind to find our way back to the hotel. We learned how to cross the road; DO NOT FOLLOW PEDESTRIAN SIGNS. CARS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. DO NOT HESISTATE WHEN CROSSING. NEVER EVER STOP. JUST WEAVE THROUGH THE CYCLISTS, THE BUSES, THE TAXIS AND THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. IF YOU STOP, YOU WILL GET RUN OVER.
While touring the city alone, we got hollered at, my brother got stalked by a beggar cause he accidently made eye-contact LOL. Lala got the best of it....SHE GOT HOARKED ON HER LEFT BACK HEEL. yes, she wanted to cut her foot off. Again, Purell to the rescue. My brother also decided to get his game on, and he picked up girls/employees from a store LOL.
Taxi ride home FINALLY. Dangerous, but arrived alive and knocked the eff out.
