Saturday, June 26th - Last Day in Qinhuangdao

Saturday, June 26th – Last day in Qinhuangdao

Saturday was officially my last day in Qinhuangdao. In the morning I went downtown for Breakfast (to McDonald’s again...still craving that stupid Egg McMuffin). The good news is that this time I was successful, and finally got my Egg McMuffin fix taken care of! I also walked around downtown for a while, and then headed back to the college to give my room a good cleaning and to finish packing.

This took a good 3 hours, because:
a)      I had not really cleaned the place AT ALL during my five weeks there
b)      There is a fine coating of coal dust that kind of covers everything – and once you start wiping/cleaning one thing, it shows the “difference”, and forces you to wipe down/clean everything.
c)       I also did a number of loads of laundry – and tried to get all my clothes clean before leaving for Beijing

For supper, I went to a Korean BBQ with the Li’s and David and his wife. This meal was really cool and again the tastes/flavours and various dishes are just outstanding....plus it is so helpful to go with locals who know what (and how) to order. I know one thing for sure; I certainly ate well while I was in China (again - pictures are below).
