Our day started with a bus ride to the Henan Museum on Nongye Road (河南博物院 on 农业路). We took the B11 bus out one stop past the museum which meant we had a two block walk back. We saw a lot of really cool antiquities dug up from all over China mainly in the area. The first thing we saw in the entrance hall was a man flanked by two elephants we don’t know what significance this holds but it looked interesting. We toured the museum in the opposite fashion from how it is set up. We started on the third floor and worked our way back down to ground level. We saw what looked like a planetarium and then a magnifying glass allowing us to look at the people on the floor below.
We then saw ancient bells, chopping blocks, weapons and much more. We took all morning to visit the museum and I took a picture of our visitor pass that is returned and reused. Then we walked to 360 Mall for lunch at Subway. One of Chuck’s classes online has him comparing the legal system where he lives to that of the United States. Today at the dinner across the mall from us a man hit a woman and law enforcement was called to scene. I was glad to see lots of men coming to the woman’s aid restraining the man and keeping him around until the police came.
After lunch we took the 900 bus home and got off a block from the house and walked home. I took a picture of a poster that is on the wall next to our stairway opening and I hope to be able to decipher what it says.
I’ve posted pictures under YEAR 2 August 2013 II. We have been here in China for one year on the 26th and we are starting year two now.
