My first time in China.

I have been to Shanghai China with a tour when I was around 19 years old. I remember I chose Galaxy Hotel. I arrived to Shanghai and went through the immigration and then I opened the door to china. What I saw was many people arguing with officers at many places. I was really scared while waiting for a tourist guide. The tourist guide showed up and what I found next was I was the only in that tour…….. I don't know why but the travel agency scheduled me on Lunar New Year in China. I arrived to the hotel and went outside to hangout! What I saw next is all stores were closed. All people were gone. I thought I was not in a downtown area so I got on a Taxi. When I got on a Taxi one China man came to my Taxi and said I'm going to the same direction with you so let me take this taxi with you. Then I got off at down town and started walking, somehow the china man was still with me. I was wondering why but kept walking the street, age about 5 child came to me and looked like asking for a chocolate or a chewing gum. I did not have any so when I tried to spare my change, the china man stopped me. He said, "Look", behind the building many kids are watching so if you spare something they will come on you". Then I came to realize why he is still with me. And we hit off some how and we got together with one of his friend. There was only a store OK opened so we went to OK which is KARAOKE in china for an hour and I singed one of a song from JP. We exchanged address and phone number and split. Next day I went to Suzhou. I had a lunch there and found the dishes were too oily to me so I could not eat at all. Then the tour guide said, you can not live here with that food problem. The day leaving china came, and 32 years have passed. I still remember the china man "Lee" as a dear friend of mine.
