Just a short walk from my noisy apartment is Martyr’s Park, which is a fairly large park and lake. I first ventured there a week ago on a white and cold day. Amazing, how it suddenly turns quiet when you get in the shelter of the trees …Quiet until you get to the lake area and they are blasting some Chinese music or Karaoke. I guess they don’t want you getting too comfortable with the very rare silence.
Last Saturday morning it was warm, sunny (and white) and filled with lots of families. Not as quiet but definitely more interesting. There were so many young children – it didn’t appear that China is actually following the 1 child policy.
