A few weeks ago, I traveled to Hangzhou for a job fair. I didn't secure a job, but I met a Chinese gentleman named Min Jie. We spent some time together in the West Lake area; it was enjoyable, but I doubt we will be traveling together again soon. The West Lake has a box garden and the Hangzhou provincial museum. There are several artificial causeways throughout the lake, making it easy for me to walk around without any hills or stairs. I still hope to return to exploring the mountains someday, but for now, I'm grounded at sea level. Our first boat ride was empty, which was fortunate since the rest of the day was quite crowded. The boat back to the mainland was packed. I met a woman from Beijing, and Min Jie is on the right side of the photo. I initially thought I needed to go to Beijing for my Uzbekistan visa, but it turns out I won't have to. She mentioned I could crash on her couch if needed. Here are some garden photos for my mom. These monuments in the center of the lake are featured on the 1 yuan note.

We spent two weeks in Beijing. The day after our arrival, we visited Chao Yang Park (Sun Park) and rented a duck boat. It was quite slow, but we enjoyed navigating it around the lake.
