<\/a>More on food and the hostel<\/p>\n

\u00a0I returned and bought some more of the corn pancake biscuit and asked to take some photos. I also found a couple more food ones \u00a0from Saturday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is one of the two \u00a0revolving hot plates.\u00a0 The mass of yellow is the mixture being levelled by the upside down T stick behind it and steam is rising.\u00a0 The orange bowl\u00a0 contains the prepared\u00a0mixture.\u00a0 There was a container of eggs under a nearby chair so it must contain some egg too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the shop with the display cases at the front.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is\u00a0 local restaurant where something is steaming in a giant cauldron.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is another place where steam was rising.\u00a0 Looks like\u00a0buns or dumplings were being steamed.\u00a0 While I watched someone handed over a plastic bag containing a few dumplings and the cook placed them in the top steamer, the lid of\u00a0\u00a0which is raised in the photo.\u00a0\u00a0 No idea why apart from the person wanting hot dumplings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0I took some photos of\u00a0 the hostel and of one of its residents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the basins in the shared bathroom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the resident cats.\u00a0 She appeared, accepted her hommage, immediately hopped onto the top of my backpack and settled down for a snooze.\u00a0 The problem was that I was repacking prior to\u00a0departure and she had to move.\u00a0\u00a0 Many Chinese hostels have cats or dogs which may or may not be friendly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The exterior of the hostel.\u00a0 Some small birds, maybe swallows, have made a mud nest on a ledge just above the entrance door.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is it from a short distance.\u00a0 The white van is parked on one side of the street \u00a0and the hostel is on the other so the street is very narrow.\u00a0 Someone is growing gourds across the street.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is opposite the hostel.\u00a0 The meters indicate the number of families living behind the wall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is where you go when you not only have no ensuite, but no bathroom.\u00a0 The courtyard houses were built in the days prior to plumbing and ordinary people can’t afford self installation, hence communal facilities.<\/p>\n

Some local shops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
