The street wake up (start operation) in the morning sleep until late evening. You can find all kind of
Chinese foods within this less than 100 meter session along both side of the street!
It find it quite selfish that a husband who can't see the bigger picture of things. Your wife is carrying
your twins for goodness sake and you can even give her the luxury to rest. Instead of thinking of his
mother in law as a helping and supporting hand, he deems it as intruding on to his and his wife's life.
You married and Chinese woman but didn't even bother to learn to understand her. Her mother
wants her to be well rested and taken care of. If the man is so busy working, where does he find the
time to tend to the needs of his wife who has recently given birth to twins.
I walked a long time before I saw a street sign at an intersection. Neither of the street names were
on my map. I took a right turn and proceeded down a street that had more trees which could shade
me from the relentless sun. The shops had no front doors or front walls. They were mostly
illuminated by daylight, but I saw an occasional fluorescent light. Many of these shops sold kitchen
appliances (gas & electric) as well as gas cylinders.
I continued to Wangfujing street for some more shopping. I had been very pleased with some jeans I

Our most recent trip, in October 2012, took us further afield: After several days in Tokyo we took the
train north-west and visited towns and cities such as Inuyama (which rejoices in a very active City
Councilman born in Brooklyn), Takayama, Ainokura (a village featuring traditional gassho-style
architecture ) and dynamic Kanazawa. To have hired professional guides in all these places would
have become expensive, and while we did this on occasion we also tried a system that is so helpful
and so well developed in Japan that I'm surprised not every traveler is aware of it: volunteer guides.
