Beijing Mission - Part 4

July 14, 2008 – 3:39 pm

We left Beijing and the fabulous Olympic Village yesterday morning and flew two hours south to a city of seven million lying on the east China Sea , Wenzhou. It is a Jingjang city beyond belief as an industrial power in a state of modernization with a mixture of the squalor of the old way contrasted with an unending number of modern high rises either recently completed or being built. In between is the beautiful architecture with the wooden carver roofs of the 1800s. Last night we ate at a traditional Chinese restaurant. It must of accommodated over 200 patrons with every and anything that lives in the sea swimming around or the internal parts on ice available for eating. You walk around with your waiter and point out your choice. In addition there must have been 20 huge wolks full and cooking away beside every type of duck or chicken preparation. The good news, no shark fin soup that I could see. The bad news, the live turtles in the pans. I am off to do three surgeries today. We are off to Shanghai this evening, one hour flight north
