Chongqing (March 21)

From Dazu Grotto, we took the bus to Chongqing, arrived in the afternoon and took a taxi to the hostel. We got out of the taxi and didn't know where the hostel was so we walked in the wrong direction for about 5 minutes, talked to a woman at the hostel and turned back around to walk in the right direction. The woman then met us on the sidewalk and showed us the way to the hostel. We checked into the hostel, got settled and walked around Chongqing.

The shopping center in downtown Chongqing with the People's Liberation Monument in the middle.

We then went to dinner at a sushi restaurant for an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet for 48 RMB. It was awesome because we were just making jokes and having fun and the food was delicious. We all stuffed ourselves until we couldn't eat anymore. The sushi came on this conveyor belt by us, so all we had to do was pick up the sushi we wanted and start eating. I felt like I was at an airport waiting for my luggage. :)

The six of us went to a square to see where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers meet.


We then returned to the hostel where Jeremy and I played pool on a very crooked pool table and then got ready for bed.
