Here comes the Last blog from Fuzhou! We have been to a place called student street near the university. It's full of quirky shops, markets, cafés and street food. We purchased some goodies and tried some tasty street food. At night we went to an indoor/outdoor shopping mall where we ate Cantonese food in preparation for Hong Kong and we watched fast and furious 7 in 3D of course :) Today's morning was spent in a lovely park where it was actually quiet (this i...
