First day in Qufu

The taxi took us to the largest super market in town - Inzwa, where we loaded up with bedsheets, pillows, a bamboo carpet to put in between our beds,electric kettle,mugs, water, food supplies, cleaning stuff, broom and of course precious toilet paper! We spent the rest of the day cleaning and managing to make our hovel somewhat liveable, even comfortable in a strange, spartan way. Lunch and dinner were quite decent with usually 4-6 different dishes served on each of 5 round dining table with ample amounts of steamed rice. Different vegetables and meat cooked every day, accompanied with cups of hot water. Food is definitely OK in this place. As it was raining all day we were back in our rooms quite early and fast asleep by 9pm.
