On Wednesday morning we received our luggage from Beijing. Ralph, myself and three people from our hotel took us to the airport to pick up the luggage. Everything arrived and that made everyone happy. CLEAN CLOTHES!
We had a "bus experience" in China yesterday. They purchased us all seats on the bus to Dandong. The trip was about 3 hours. It was an experience in itself. We stopped about an hour out of Dandong at a "Rest Stop". It was quite funny. It was dark outside and we began to walk into the restrooms and they made the men detour outside...that was our restroom. :) The ladies room was the typically Chinese toilet. Needless to say Molly didn't have to go anymore. I think most of our ladies thought the same thing.
The bus stop was on a side street in the middle of Dandong. It was Crazy getting off of the bus. People were standing there yelling at us. (I understand now that they wanted us to go to their hotel! It was a frightening experience if you didn't know what was going on.
We checked into our hotel. The Zhong Lian Hotel. It is right across from the bridge that leads to North Korea. It is a beautiful view.
We met up with the school principal and the former principal for Korean BBQ. Actually it was quite tasty.
