Changsha-Day 3

Entrance to the park These kids were here with their school and they were all eating their lunch, so cute! The bungee ride Hannah & Jadyn went on

I went in this bathroom and you couldn't have paid me money to use it!!!! There were squattys lined up in a row with no doors, at least it was "free of charge"!!

Boat ride




The plants behind them are lotus and they have a beautiful flower
Embroidery factory
Bowling
Today we went to a park. It was very beautiful with lots of trees and flowers. There were people all over doing Tai chi, singing, dancing, and one man was even painting calligraphy on the cement with a giant brush and water. The park also was considered an amusement park and had quite a few rides. Jadyn & Hannah went on several including a roller coaster and a bungee type ride as in the picture above. The bungee ride shot them in the air and they just kept spinning and then stopped up high for quite a while before they were let down to the ground. Hannah was not such a fan of the ride afterwards but Jadyn sure loved it. We all went on a boat ride around the lake. After that we went to an embroidery museum & factory. It was so beautiful to see the women working. They use no knots on their pictures and there is so much detail. They are able to have 2 sided pictures with different pictures on both sides, it is so amazing to see. We stopped at McDonalds on the way home from the embroidery museum and that was wonderful. It was our first time at McDonalds and it tasted so good. We then went back to our hotel and watched a movie (with lunch) and then in the afternoon we went bowling. Our hotel had a bowling alley inside of it. Andrea was not able to bowl as her back was hurting her but Hannah, Jadyn and I bowled and had a lot of fun.
