It seems that the internet is not as easy in China. But, I have found that this terminal can do this blog.
The first 2 days in China were spent in ZhengZhou (Chengchou) where we visited an agricultural show- I maybe haven't said but there are 7 of us (+ 1 on her own trip at present) visiting China for our Nuffield Scholarships for 10 days.
The show was very interesting, but like any show in the world you can get a bit weary after a while.
The exhibits were mostly of food from the various provinces of this vast country. Which range from fruits (some wierd) to my favourite; Dried yak meat mmm yummy.
Colostrum sweets were also a major treat.
The most compelling thing in Zhengzhou was the almost oppressive smoggy polution which obscured the sun.
A visit to a huge outdoor concert of singers, karate kids and zen masters telling the tale of a Chinese proverb was an incredible spectacle which rounded off our tour here.
My take home message from this province... this country is just huge.
We have now moved North to Inner Mongolia and the profesionalism shown by our hosts, and the crisp sunshine is a welcome reprieve from smoogy old Zhengzhou- more later.....
