GPC in China--Trip to Hang Zhou Part IV: Some of the most fun we had in Hang Zhou was in an outdoor market on Riverboat Street that really had a carnival-like atmosophere. There were people in costume walking about, magicians, musicians, an inflatable moonwalk for the kids, and people eating ice-cream everywhere. Everybody on Riverboat Street was having a good time, especially kids. After dining on a tasty lunch of beef noodle soup (very much like the Vietnamese "pho" that we enjoy in the U.S.), we went next door to the Dairy Queen for a smoothie. I really enjoyed talking with these two sweet but goofy guys that made my strawberrry smoothie at the DQ.
