Dongbei trip - Oct 2011

@ Tiger forest, Harbin.

St Sophia's cathedral : Russian remains of the past @Harbin.

Chinese tradition @ Jile temple, Harbin.

At 东方饺子, the best dumpling fast-food chain in Dongbei ! Milie's favorite : the cucumber & shrimp ones !

@ a public bath in Harbin. This one was quite luxurious, I had my own bathtub in a private room (I went for the "rose" treatment) with flat TV screen, and my own "ayi" ("aunt" in Chinese) to take care of me ... felt like a princess :-)

@ Dalian

Got to breathe some clean air, saw thousands of stars (yes, that is something you come to miss when you live in Shanghai), met some friendly people, learned how to play Mahjong ...Short but fun & relaxing trip ! :-)
