Chillin in Hangzhou

So, I'm in Hangzhou right now.  I decided to come here with the rest of the cast just to hang out with them before they go on with their tour.  It has been such a great experience with all of them and I've grown so used to my new friends that it was hard for me to say good-bye so abruptly.  So....this trip was mainly to spend some time with them and get some rest before I move on with my life in Shanghai.  Of course, I brought Seth with me....and he's grown accustomed to jumping into this bag every time we go out....so that he can be low key about his presence at the hotel...heehee....

Hangzhou itself has changed so much since the last time I came here.  If I remember correctly, the roads were very messy and the restaurants were very local around the West Lake.  Now, they are completely renovated...the garden that goes along the lake is very beautiful...and things just seem a lot cleaner now.  Though...it is strange to have so many STARBUCKS shops in one area....kind of sad too....

Yesterday I spent a nice time riding a bike from the hotel to the lake.  I had seth in the font basket...the wind was blowing...and it was just at the time of sunset....perfect weather...it was quite relaxing....tonight will be the opening for the casts run in Hangzhou.  I'll be in the audience just to support them. It's funny because the first time I watched the show I didn't know anyone in the show. So, this time it will be much more fun since I know the show and I know the people in it.  I'm going to miss them all when I leave.....I guess that's life......
