Kaelyn was done today around 3PM so we headed over to Jing’an Temple, a Buddhist temple. It was a short subway ride, Line 9 2 stops to Line 7, 2 stops.

Heather put us in touch with a co-worker at Agriculture Canada Steve at the start of our trip. Steve is from China and was going to help us get familiar with local culture and what to expect and do. Unfortunately, our paths didn’t cross and we didn’t get a chance to meet. But then 2 nights ago he called and asked if we wanted to do lunch. You bet! The...
