We planned to go to the Jinan Botanical Gardens, but got the wrong directions. It’s no where near where we were sent apparently. Instead, we went to the Jinan Museum, which our friend mistook for the Shandong Provincial Museum and to Thousand Buddha Mountain, which it seems our well meaning friend thought was part of a botanical garden.
At the Jinan Museum
No big deal as we had a wonderful day anyway.

In downtown Jinan, with an admission rate of just 5rmb, the smaller and I think more serene Five Dragon Pond is a lovely place for a stroll. You don’t realize you’re in a city.
I can’t believe I went here for the first time on Wednesday.

This afternoon was a picture perfect spring day so I went for a walk around Da Ming Lake, a sight Jinan is particularly proud of. I went into the scholar’s home, which is a small museum. I’m not sure of the era of the home, but the furnishings were exquisite. I’d love to have such furniture, though I’d want modern futon or mattress for the bed.

The light is changing
You can’t see it, but the interior’s changing, getting restored.
Hopefully, we go to change

Ah, since leaving Macau, and maybe since leaving Phnom Penh, life’s been one hassle after another. In short, I lost a brand new digital SRL camera on a plane, had my visa rejected in Hong Kong and faced a lot of hassle and expense fixing that so I could get back into China before school starts on Monday.
I was forced to go to Shenzhen, a horrid, dirty, dismal city to get a flight to Jinan. I’m completely “shindoi” which is Japanese Kansai dialect for “tired, body and soul.” Now I’m back in Jinan, but busy preparing for Monday and helping the new teachers settle in. Believe it or not all of them had flight delays due to the high level of pollution. In fact, the airlines had four of them just take the train here.
You know something’s wrong if the airlines want you to take a train.
I’ll provide details tomorrow or the next day.
