Early Morning at Starbucks

I was in Qingdao the last week of May. I noticed that every morning, the same two ladies would meet at the outdoor tables of Starbucks to chat and do morning exercise stretches as they held onto the outdoor tables. It was an interesting contrast of old and modern! Also interesting is the fact that most of the writing you can see in the background is Korean instead of Chinese. There are thousands and thousands of Korean people living in Qingdao.

More Things on the Mountain

Here are some other things I saw on the mountain climb: misspelled signs (CAREFULL!IT IS DANGEROUS TO CRESS THE CHAIN), a little girl who is a 74th generation descendant of Confucius with her dad, and a view from inside a Taoist temple.
