San-Yingge art village

Today I have spent in San-Yingge art village. This sunny day has been a little bit long, because of the very hot hot weather and there was nothing special what to do.

In the morning, we took the bus. I've used for the first time the umbrella to protect form the sun and then we went by walk to the art village. I have taken a walk among the river, but it was so hot that I've returned back soon.

 Very interesting part of the day has been the lunch. We've gotten a great opportunity to eat with the artists in the art village. They have made for us dumplings, some kind of tofu with salad and something salty, that was looking like a pie. This food was great. I've enjoyed the dumplings and the salty pie a lot. Later you could eat some soup. It was from the young bamboo and whole chicken (neck, knee, leg,..). And the chicken was black! It has had a black colour, they cooked it with all organs and probably also a blood. It has looked so strange.. I have not taken a photo, but Geena had, so I'll put some foto later here.

The afternoon was fine, we've had a chance to see, how children work in the art village. Later we've taken a walk with them (the language barrier is really big, you can tell them everything, but they still do, whatever they want). I've come up some children games, so they've stayed tuned with us for a while and not running all around :-) In the late afternoon, we've met one guy from security, who has played some songs for us. It was very nice. I've known some of them, but only a few. After a while, we've seen much closer also other parts of the art village and we took home.

We'd like to buy something to eat, so me and Geena have gone to the Yingge city. We'd found some kind of market close to our house, so we went in. There was everything. From the live chicken, duck, some kind of meat, through vegetable, clothes, some baked stuff to cooked meals. Very shocking was to see whole duck or chicken without feather with legs, neck, head and just whole! Or there was cooked duck that has been black. Oh, it was so weird.. I've been a little bit scared :-D Hope to see only white chicken meat from today!
