Today I woke rested, don't know if it was the bug coil that helped me sleep??? Who knows, I dressed up because we were going to Confucius living quarters and temple and then going on to a nice lunch... I didn't notice the POURING rain out my window! I love these Chinese, they build incredible mansions but the majority of the house is outside... We never go in... They have lots of gates.
At the Confucius living quarters we were to see some children recite some of the Chinese classics... Due to the rain it was cancelled!
After the rain stopped we went to the Confucius Research Institute and the Confucius University. The University's physical plant needs a lot of work. I was amazed at the lack of funding they get to keep up the buildings. The Confucius Research Institute is like a museum that tells the life of Confucius. Very nice!
Oh yea - we had scorpions for lunch today - I wimped out!
