Snow in Hangzhou!

Grabbed some breakfast dumplings with Colin and Greg the Canadian and American guys we met last night and headed out into the snow!
It has settled quite deep in places and makes everything look gorgeous! So many photos!

Did a little shopping in carrefore, which was a bit odd to find a French supermarket out here but hey! I bought some mouth wash and shaving stuff that we couldn't find back in our town.
Colin and I then grabbed a cab over to the Nokia shop as he wanted his phone fixed and I wanted the back cover on my phone fixed ideally.
They sorted his but my cover was too pricey, I will try taobo. China's answer to eBay!
We tried to get a cab back but couldn't find one in the lunchtime rush so decided to just walk back the couple of miles in the snow.
Found out that my nice summer shoes really suck in the snow but remembered a shop on route selling shoes so stopped in an bought some smart leather walking shoes, they were not that cheap but not bad, and appqrantly real merrels!
We met up with Chris and Greg in the hostel and had 2 hours to kill before the meal we planned with tilly an Aussie girl as well. The guys were really after a foot massage and wash and Chris fancied it too but I know I'm way too tickleish for that so left them to it and went out and found a load of small caves and worship sites on the hill behind our hostel and in the snow it was deserted which made it very surreal.
Met up again and went for a hot pot dinner with a central boiling soup you dip in different foods to cook and eat.
Chris took some time to stop eating the food raw and work out that you put them in to cook but after that we had a nice dinner of meatballs mushrooms etc etc and even some quails eggs which were very tasty in the spicy soup with a peanut sauce!

Tilly had heard of a place nearby with an open bar for 50kwai (a fiver) with as much as you can drink so we jumped in a taxi over there.
It was all foreigners but it was 50kwai for unlimited beer and spirits so we got involved! However it did not end well, a very heavy night was had by all.
Chris lost his coat somewhere and walked back 5 miles in the snow at 3am without it.
I have no clue how I got back but luckily lost nothing an the other guys had similarly blurry memories.
Learnt some cool drinking games, one involving making a rule secretly then everyone says a word and if it doesn't meet the rule they have to drink, until you guess the pattern and then it changes.
Today was spent in bed recovering from awful hangovers before venturing to the shop to replace chrises coat and grab some food before chillin out and reading in the hostel loft watching the snow out the window. Took some pictures in the snow and they look good, will try to upload some soon!
Going sightseeing tomorrow so that will be cool. Still predicted snow though!
