A hairy Sunday

This Sunday the international club organized a road trip to the neighboring town Yangchenghu where we could taste the most hyped local delicacy: Freshwater hairy crabs.

The act of getting there and back was an experience in itself. We spent about 3hrs in traffic for the 60km distance each way. Sunday seemed like China's most popular driving day to me, although I was quickly told that traffic during rushhour was actually much worse.

The crab, however, was really excellent and didn't really care how long we had been on the road. Although mean voices said that the crab was as excellent as the town was ugly, which, in my personal opinion is a gross overstatement - no crab on earth can ever be that excellent...

All in all the excursion was an intense experience (especially with the mud-snail-appetizer beforehand) and it presented a well deserved and longed-for diversion from the daily homework routine.

Thanks International Club!
