I think the group hit a low at this point... it took us about 2 hours by bus to travel to Qufu - home of Confucius. We started the day in Jinan visiting Baimai Fountain - this is an area with hot springs. Baimai Park is absolutely beautiful... It was a wonderful beginning to a not so hot day!
When we arrive in Qufu we check into the Mingyahuiguan Hotel - the lobby looks beautiful, we are given our keys and we head to our rooms... :( ... The My Hotel (that is what they call it) has never used bleach, I am amazed at the amount of mold in the bathroom. To my surprise I see the shower which is the circle in the picture, the shower curtain is hidden behind the door! So when you take a shower basically water goes everywhere! No need for a bath mat! You must use flip flops in the shower because it is not so clean and plus you are walking in about 2 inches of water! To keep the bugs out of your room they light a coil that burns all night by your bed... Let me say, it would not me USA standards... But we survived!

Ms. Smtih,
There must have been so much MOLD! I can see it along the rim of the shower, It must take a little while to clean up all the water on the floor to:) Beijing must have had the best hotel! How long are you in Qufu for? Hope you have a great rest of China vacation!

Hi Ms. Smith!
Your hotel in Beijing looked and sounded much nicer than the one you're staying in at Qufu. When you enlarge the picture of the shower you can see the mold around the rim and how tiny the shower actually is! At least you won't be in Qufu for too long :)!
