Day seven

Day seven begins with our arrival in Lou yang. As we walked through the train station to our buses we were greeted by dancers in costume and dignitaries. Our hotel was much more comfortable than the one in Beijing and after a breakfast buffet, our director canceled the morning activities in favor of an opportunity to nap and shower before lunch and our 2 pm performance.
The show was in the center of a courtyard of shops and we saw some very interesting performances by the local provinces. There was a Chinese group that did Irish step dancing, a man who did Chinese tongue twisters and some very good acrobats. There was also some excerpts from Chinese opera, body builders and performers from other countries.


After a trip by the arena where the cultural parade will be tomorrow we returned to the hotel for our buffet dinner.
A group of us went to a water fountain show, supposedly the largest in China. When we returned to the hotel, our director had ordered pepperoni pizzas for us all!
