1 - 10. CHINA'S NATIONAL DAY

Green Car charges at night and drives every day clean, fast, effortlessly. Today we only had a short distance to go. For lunch we included a bowl of cicadas. The taste was good! Something like shrimps but more round and less salty. We spent the afternoon in bed watching TV. From this angle we enjoyed a gigantic parade on the Tien'anmen square in Beijing and the launching of a true Chinese moon-rocket. Many Chinese use the holiday to go shopping. We bought  a Mah Jong game in Walmart and ate a stuffed lotus-flower on the street. We would like to forget that we also saw and heard a car with wailing dogs in front of a stall selling dog-soup.
