Excellent Adventures in Dalian, China

Dalian, China
Weather: Sunny blue skies and chilly - great!
Monday October 17th.


I can hardly believe that we are really here in Dalian, China, with Izaac and Leslie.  We have spent three days being shown the city and surroundings, seeing some of the places we have heard about over the two years they have been here, eating fabulous food (Russian, Korean and Chinese), and listening in awe as they both speak Chinese.

Dalian is a big busy city of seven million people, with wide streets,  lots of large open squares and parks, huge stores and underground malls, and so much neon and LED lighting at night that it feels like Christmas.  It is a colorful and fun city!
