Changzhi and Westerners

These pictures were taken yesterday as we walked around Changzhi. This town doesn't get visitors from other countries so they were all amazed to see 3 "western" women walking around town. As we went into a store, there was a fight on the street that involved a couple of women. There was a crowd that gathered to watch. We watched for a half minute then decided to do some shopping.


While in the store, we saw a cute baby so we stopped to ooh and ahh over the baby. The Grandma, who was holding the baby seemed very happy to have us take pictures.


After takinig a few pictures, we noticed that there was a bigger crowd around us than there were watching the fight. We've become quite the celebrities. People would stare at us and some would say "Hello" to us. When we answered, they'd laugh. These two girls stopped us and asked if they could have a picture with us. This is the picture I took of them scrambling to find their cell phone.


We had lunch at Pizza Hut yesterday - the first American food. As you can see, the menu is slightly different than our Pizza Hut but we still had some pizza.




The picture of the building is Mark and Joan's apartment building. We're on the 6th floor.


Should I buy the T-Shirt for anyone in particular?
