7 hours to Mia
Things have been good so far in China, traveling around the country has gone smoothly, the food is certainly different. We are in Changsha now and staying at the Dolton, which is a beautiful hotel.The buffet last night was interesting...I included below a listing of some of the items on the buffet. I didn't include the desserts, which there were about 20 different items and six different kinds of ice cream. I took about a tablespoon of each kind. I they were chocolate, strawberry, green tea w/ leaves in it (which the girl from the other family traveling with us called "grass" LOL), rum ice cream w/ raisins, and a custard type and purple ice cream that I couldn't figure out. Canned soda, tea, juice, beer and mixed drinks were also included in the buffet
All the food was cooked and presented beautifully in dishes, many in different sauces and spices.
Here is a list of some items on the buffet:
