\"\"<\/a>When the weather is right, we love going for long Saturday walks. \u00a0As part of our reward for putting in a lot of kilometres, we enjoy stopping for a bowl of noodle soup, especially at an Ajisen Ramen restaurant, a Japanese noodle soup chain we enjoy visiting in other cities in China as well. \u00a0As you can see, I am getting quite proficient in eating noodle soup using a wooden spoon and chopsticks. \u00a0Maureen does a better job as she doesn’t flick the noodles as much and so keeps the soup off her clothing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Three hours of wandering through the park and taking a gazillion photos of roses, we decided to head home to make supper and then enjoy a night watching one of our DVD movies, “Nights in Rodanthe.” \u00a0Looking out the window while enjoying a cup of tea before our supper, we got to enjoy the last hour of sunshine before it set. \u00a0One thing about “smoke” in the air, is the way it colours the sun before sunset. \u00a0And so ended another one of our Saturday rambles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
