Dalian is a modern (notice the 'disco ball') city with a Russian and Japanese history. People kept asking me if I was Russian because there are lots of Russian tourists. The cold Siberian wind was really strong and we had a few snow flurries that reminded us of how much we like Hangzhou’s warm weather. The hotel was great – softest beds I have ever had in China and a great location. It was close to an underground shopping area that we kept getting lost in - which wasn’t all that bad. On our “have no idea where we are” wanderings we found a great hat for Penny, hair thingys for Nicole and donuts for me.
