East meets West
On our second day in China we visited the city of Tianjin!
Mini apples! They taste exactly like normal apples except they are as small as cherries! (Also pictured, breakfast: bottled water, bao, watermelon)
Cycling is a main mode of transport - there is always a bike in sight!
The three-wheeled taxis(?) were so eye catching - hope I get a chance to ride in one in the future!
Chopsticks anyone?
Shopping time
At the store that sold the delicious dried cuttlefish
Dried fish(?)

At the Silk Factory - silk worms at different stages
The silkworm cocoons are soaked and the stretched out in layers
The silkworms are removed from their cocoons
The layers are then stretched out - lots of layers makes a quilt
Bargaining time - "best best price" is exchanged via calculator
Kylie enjoying all the silk products!

Beijing looks fabulous - I hope I get to go there one day.
