Hahaha nothing beats the random sayings and photos on clothing here. That's a great catch.
I've been living in Hangzhou for the past two years. It's a great little city. Has a lot of western amenities but it's still not overly populated with foreigners. I can still use Chinese and experience some culture. You'll have to check out the lake next time you're here.
I'm in one of the big Hangzhou wechat groups led by Kyle, a Canadian, Do you know that group, it's Chinese English group tat talks about anything. I'm live not too far from Hangzhou so I will be back to explore it more. Does the lake freeze over in the winter enough to go skating?
Nah the only Hangzhou groups I'm in are led by a Chinese dude named Jake. And no way! That would be awesome. The winters here are super mild. Not really cold at all. It's snowed a few times but ice is pretty rare. With that said, another Canadian guy has started a local hockey team here so there's that!
