Today we left Beijing and flew to Chongqing, which has a population of 32 million people... yeah lol. We'll be here for the next 4 days and so far this city is like something straight out of some futuristic space movie I've seen. Everything is so much different than cities in the United States, but then again not many cities are as packed as this one. After resting for a bit at the hotel we went and checked out the General Stilwell museum (if you don't know anything about him check it out here). It was a really interesting exhibit and I learned a lot about Stilwell and the events during the time period he lived in. Afterwards we drove around town heading to our first dinner in Chongqing. We ended up going through a section of town which was pretty much a huge lively neighborhood with stores, restaurants, and everything on a small hillside. Once again some more stuff we'd never see in the United States... never thought one hill could hold so many people and places lol. Once we got to dinner we were all pretty much beat. We had our first experience with a whole fish at the dinner table too. Really was something picking all the meat off the fish when it's head is just there staring at you lol. But it was good so I can't complain. Day 4, yerr
