Evening in Linfen

After classes today a bunch of us headed to the massage place. I really can't get enough of the massages, especially at 32 yuan each ($5). It was the first massage for a couple of the teachers and they were impressed. As we floated down the road with Caroline and Yanji (our college students and interpreters), Yanji suggested a restaurant. It was our best meal ever. Photos are going on Shutterfly as I write. We were led to a small private room with a round table. This is typical in China- to have the glass lazy susan in the middle with all the food served on it. We just use our chopsticks to each what we want. The funniest part was seeing the family that owned the restaurant who spent the entire time peeking around corners and through the glass wall to watch us. At the end of the meal a young man came in who spoke English to explain what an honor it was that we came to his restaurant. He requested photos with each of us individually. It was the best meal we've had yet along with plenty of laughs.

We ended the night on the square where some of us lined danced and some of us took photos. :-)
