The bathroom at Yungang

The bathrooms at the museum, looking like the ones in a stared hotel and are clean. However the bathroom tissues were nowhere to be found – every single booth. As I was leaving, I spotted the cleaning lady and asked. She said,
“Oh, wait, I’ll get it for you.”
No, you don’t have to. You should fill it for everyone who uses it.
I could not do the math right. How much would the bathroom tissue cost, in comparison to this bathroom?

Yoga, sort of

Datong‘s The Yungang Grottoes 云冈石窟. I got carried away with it. Guess I was a lousy tourist – I didn’t see any signs around. OK, won’t do it again.

New wall for the old town

We stayed in the new town of Datong but had a chance to visit the old town after the The Yungang Grottoes 云冈石窟. A new wall encircling the old town is being completed and old housing is being demolished. New buildings such as High Street of London is coming.
