Fuzhou for me was like the after effect of strong coffee: existential, anxious, and feeling a persistant tightness in the intestines. You'd think a place nicknamed the city of banyans （蓉城）would have more to offer than countless shopping streets and high rises, but alas it does not. While the banyans are pretty and there is a fun night-market all along the outskirts of Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou is a filthy, prosperous (as its name suggests) city with terrible traffic jams. Not to mention, it was really cold for the 3 days we were there and I was unprepared for that, having come from more warm and humid places.
Meeting Shawna's dad's side of the family was also a lot of fun. More delicious meals were had and more merriment over expensive baijiu.
