Once in Jinan, George recognized a street and then with his cerebral GPS sytem, successfully navigated until we were at the college, our room and Matthew. Then we went to Jenny's for lunch.
Breakfast on the street
with tables designed for short people
The girls at the next table demonstrated the proper way to eat bing (spelled incorrectly - but George will fix that)
Then we starting our adventure - down the street
past markets
and markets
and a guy preparing fired chicken
and a bit of stir frying
fresh vegetables
Then one of our many cultural discoveries: a walk / don't walk sign and a bike / don't bike sign. Green = walk / bike
and Red = don't walk / don't bike
a hazy street - with multimodal transport
another example of don't bike / don't walk
and for those that don't want to walk - a taxi stop
We arrived at Jenny's cafe - a sort of western cafe - across the street form Mickey-Ds
After lunch - sure enough - I found some building in progress
Another example of creative transport - and some foot doctoring
Then a group of guys playing Mahjong
And later in the afternoon - the Jinan Bus Station - for our trip to Liaocheng
