Now back in Mackay - Australia - last post was Wuhan Uni one of the big cities of China, population 9.1 million. Carla and I lived on campus with most essential items just minutes away via a 20 cent bus ride to the major shops and ferry terminal on the banks of the mighty Yangtze River.
June 7,8 & 9 was the "Dragon Boat Festival" yes another good excuse for a long weekend - it happens everywhere. We went to Yueyang with one of our students - his Mum cooked the greatest food including chillie eels, chicken and mushrooms, lotus stems, cuttlefish and fried yabbies. All food totally different to the chinese take-away in Moonee Ponds. We visited the huge Port on the Yangtze, the river here is bigger than Sydney Harbour. We then went on to see the Yueyang Tower along with the souvenir shops where we could not resist the hand painted fans and wall scrolls. Once again the food for lunch at a side street was just lovely and very cheap. All in all we had a great time and only 335km by bus away(5 hours).
