Hangzhou is the smallest town I've been so far in China... A mere 8 million people live there. It surrounds a beautiful lake with gardens and pagodas around it. It is a really beautiful and clean city completely packed with Chinese tourists. Around the lake you can find stands for every single supercar brand you can imagine (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, etc.)
I met a sweet Chinese couple that a travel buddy from Israel met before in Suzhou. They study here and showed us the lake area. We talked about each others countries and about our languages. Apparently I have a good Chinese accent! I told them that us in Putaoya (that's how they say Portugal) are good with languages, better than in Xibanya (Spain in Chinese)... They laughed, but they believed. I really should learn Chinese, but doing it while travelling is a bit complicated... too much information to assimilate.
I ended up staying there four nights and a small group of three travellers that met in Beijing and Shanghai got together again: me, an Israelly and an English. We have the same plan for the next days (Yellow Mountains and Xiamen, on the coast), so we will tag along a bit longer.
