Today made a nice change. I got to repay the favour of lunch to Salina. Of course, I had no idea where to actually go and left it up to Salina to choose. The restaurant was very nice and we both ate Peppered Steak. It tasted good and the service there was great, seems like most of the staff there can speak some English. What was very cool, was when the sweetest little boy decided he would come and speak with me. I heard this little voice say "Hello" and I turned and there he was...So cute :-)His mum was happy for us to take a picture.
Salina is an English teacher at a different school to me. She is lovely, kind and helpful and it was really nice to get to spend some time with her today.
Walking back through the square after lunch I finally got to ask someone what the sticks with what look like tiny toffee apples actually are...Well, they taste like little toffee apples, but they are not apples, they are some other kind of fruit...I couldn't recognise it and Salina was not certain of it's English name...so I'm still not sure what they are...but now I know they are quite delicious...uh oh!!Lucky I have all those stairs to keep walking up and down!

So glad you have become friends with Salina. She is such a joy to be around! Please tell her I said hello. Hope you have a great week in Yichang!
The fruit should be Chinese haw. I had fewer chances to see people selling the stick recent years. it was very popular in the past, sold by people in the street. I guess it is because of its availability in supermarket that make the Chinese haw sellers lose their jobs :D
Thanks Katat :-) That is why it is unfamiliar to me...we don't have that fruit in Australia (not that I'm aware of anyway..)It is very delicious
