I got Kris and Jim to take a couple of my classes so Cynthia and I could take a little side trip. Tuesday afternoon we hoped on a bus and then another bus and a ferry to Zhoushan City, which is an island with a very large harbor and many fishing vessels. We sort of walked around the town the first night, walking by 60 tents that were really outdoor seafood restaurants set up by the bay. Each one had about 4 dinning tables and one table with lots of seafood set out for you to pick your meal from. They had everything from horseshoe crabs, hammerhead sharks to lobster and many, many other types of fresh seafood that I didn’t recognize. I figured I would take a picture the next morning on the way to the boat that would take us to Putuoshan but none of the restaurants were there, but there was a person sitting in each completely empty tent “saving their place” for that nights meal. The next afternoon we saw some of the tables, chairs and gas grills being brought in on bicycles for the next night meals. Talk about fast food.
